ALTAR SERVERS

The altar servers assist the priest during the Mass. Those who have received all the Sacraments of Initiation and the students who have made their First Communion and are in Religious Education are eligible to become altar servers. Altar servers will serve every three to four weeks at the Mass of their preference. All servers must participate in a training session offered at St. Alfred Parish. 

CHOIR

In our parish we believe in the saying of St. Augustine: “He who sings, prays twice.” We sing at all of our liturgies. You are invited to share your musical talents with us singing or playing instruments.

Our English choir, practices on Wednesday night; and our Spanish choir, practices on Tuesday night.
