Today at the 11:30am Mass, two of our altar servers, Bashar Christo and Thomas Ambooken will be receiving the Silver Medals
for their distinguished altar serving our parish, which is awarded for their 10 years of enrolment into the Guild of St Stephen.
The Guild of St Stephen is an International Organisation of Altar Servers founded in England in 1904 by
Father Hamilton McDonald when he formed a Society of Altar Servers at the Convent of the Sacred Heart in London.
The objectives of the Guild include:
● To encourage, positively and practically, the highest standards of serving at the Church’s liturgy
● To provide altar servers with a greater understanding of what they are doing so that they may serve with increasing reverence and prayerfulness and thereby be led to a deepening response to their vocation in life.
● To unite servers of different parishes and dioceses for their mutual support and encouragement.
If you are interested of becoming an altar server, please speak to the parish Priest
