Altar Servers are assigned a level based on age, grade, competency, and the frequency and duration of serving. Servers must first complete the training, observe other servers as an apprentice, and pass a competency assessment prior to being promoted into one of the 4 server categories listed below. Servers can then be promoted after meeting the requirements of the subsequent level. It is assumed that Altar Servers will volunteer through high-school. Servers are encouraged during college on their school campus or local parish. All new and existing servers will complete a self-study module during June and July, and attending an assessment session in August or September. All eligible servers will be considered for promotions in October. Promotions will be announced during the Commissioning Mass in November and be published in the December Bulletin. Adults (> 19 years old) are also eligible to be an Elite server for the primary purpose of serving weekday masses. Servers who have not served before but begin server beyond the age and grade requirements of a Novice Server will serve at the Novice level of one year prior to being placed into the level most appropriate age and grade level. A Server who has served before joining the All Saints program will be assessed by the trainer and a customized training program will be created by on past experience and competency and placed into the level most consistent with their age and grade when deemed appropriate by the Chaplain.
