Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths,”John the Baptist exhorts us in today’s gospel passage from Matthew. How do we prepare for the coming of Christ, the celebration of Christmas?

Is your child interested in becoming an Altar Server?

Join us for 2 successive training sessions immediately following the 8:30am Mass on Sunday December 7th and 14th at St. Malachy. In Session 1, kids will learn the basics of serving - from vocabulary of the objects and tools used, to how to light candles and snuff them out! Don't forget a live practice session on ringing the Altar Bells! Attendees will also receive a picture reference guide that they can study at home with their parents to work on vocabulary. In Session 2, we will practice walking through the mass once or twice in the sanctuary, where the students will be able to actually walk through the act of serving in Mass.
