Children Altar Servers
The Altar Server Ministry is open to youth who are in 4th grade or older. The altar servers assist the presider during Mass. The child must have celebrated the Sacraments of Baptism and Eucharist. Training for weekday altar servers is typically in the fall, and training for weekend altar servers is in the winter. There are typically three sessions for each. Youth can either do one training or both. To learn more about this ministry, please call the parish office at 847-362-2073
Adult Altar Servers
The Adult Altar Server ministry is comprised of adults who wish to serve the mass by ministering on the altar at masses. Adult servers minister at the 7:00 Sunday Mass and other masses as needed during the year. Servers are often asked to serve for funerals and special masses where a more mature skill is needed. Student servers that wish to continue to serve the altar after their school years have passed are also part of the Adult server program. Adults servers must be baptized, received first communion, confirmed, and members of St. Joseph. To learn more about this ministry, please contact:
