Members of Altar Servers at Our Lady of Pompei Church

About our Association

With the inspiration of St. John Berchmans, the Altar Boys' Sodality was established in our parish. Their main role is to assist with the Holy Eucharist with devotion, regularly attend Mass, and actively participate in the Holy Sacrifice, especially on Sundays and feast days. After the second Mass on Sundays, they come together as a group to discuss their activities, plan for Mass services, and exchange thoughts on other liturgical duties. Being an altar boy is not just about assisting the priest at the altar during the Holy Sacrifice; it involves participation in other activities like singing, prayers, games, competitions, and picnics, with an effort to contribute to parish activities in every way possible.

Initially, the members of the sodality were required to attend Mass regularly and were notified through the notice board during the daily Mass. Whenever there was a death in the parish, they would be expected to visit the family and show support by being present in the church for the final rites. In recent years, female altar servers have also been serving along with the boys, providing their dedicated service to the parish. Even today, the members of the sodality, both male and female, continue to serve with devotion and commitment.
