I'm serving my lord as an altar boy from past 10 years May the lord be praised !
I was a altar boy for 4 years.
It's a very blessed and serious service
I used to be an altar server. Let these boys appreciate their role in serving the highest form of prayer to where we receive the blood and body of Jesus Christ, n0t because of prestige of being shown off to girls.
that's good
That be good
I have been an Altar Server for 3 years and I currently still am. What you said is definitely true!!!
These boys talk such sweet things...... The little boy is considering becoming a priest....... It made me so joyous....... What an immense joy it is when a soul is devoted to Christ.......... God bless those boys........ Amen.....
I am 72 years of age ! Started when I was 13 ! From altar boy to Older boy as my priest called me and my cronie ! Being on the altar with priest is most wonderful experience ! it as if Jesus right there with you every step of ones life and with all who attend mass ! Believe me it makes YOU more of a better person towards your brothers and sisters in Christ ! I would not change my feelings at any one time ! I have served funeral masses for friends of mine when asked by the family or even not ! In which I feel is real reward because it is what God is telling me what to do ! I will say this too my younger brothers and sisters if this is YOUR call go for it it is one most WONDERFUL thing YOU can do for YOURSELF ! Let alone God It is the power of God right there with YOU and priest ! Nothing more SWEET and BEAUTIFUL than being that close too OUR LORD Jesus Christ ! All I ask is think about it ! If YOU LOVE Jesus like YOU say YOU do go for it !
im a 22 year old and im an alter boy❤❤ i had been serving for 11 years❤ and i'm proud of it
hahaha sucka
I’m also am 22 and still am a altar server and thinking of becoming a priest.
Lmao 🤣 🤣 🤣
Jonathan Ruiz whats funny?
Wouldn't that make you an "alter man" at 22?
I was raised in a Catholic family and now I have my own little family of 3❤️. I hope with all my heart that my almost 2 year old son will become an altar server one day in the future if he wants to. I believe it is one of the most beautiful ways to serve Jesus Christ.
I am an server (altar server) in England. It’s so amazing! It’s a shame that all churches don’t have servers.
Amazing video! I have been an alter server for a couple years now across different churches, And this is an artfully done video that really does represent what it is to be an alter server.
Love it! I am an altar server at the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart in Winona, MN. (One of the older ones, being 14.) I am glad someone agrees with me on altar serving!
I'm so sorry :-( I hope you break free without being sexually molested
Soldier of Christ I’m also a altar server and considering becoming a priest
Don’t let the priest feel you up
Tomorrow is my first day Altar Serving! I'm a little scared, and excited. Keep me in your Prayers, that I may help the Mass to keep going, and that I may be at the Altar of God with love. That I may be able to serve God in this way, with Grace, and Joy. Thank you everyone! God bless you all! :)
Anything you do in your service, offer it with a humble heart and no matter if you make a mistake or not, everything will see perfect to our Father
Bruno Burga awww yes! God bless ya! Glory to God!
Erika Nance Girls can't do altar serving.
Thad Kolaroff girls serving at the altar, is called MODERNISM an innovation with no theological basics incuraged by feminists.
Altar girl then what you going to be a priest?
Thad Kolaroff why it's wrong

I'm a 55 year old altar server...I'm also an Army officer, 25 years. For me, serving at the altar is like being on parade. Your black shoes have to be shone and clean, don't fidget, eyes front. You are on parade in front of the King of the Universe...so you got to do it right.
whoa now lol, no pressure! Everyone has to learn! He’s a forgiving God 😉
Altar servers are very important to help the mass run well. I often see them spend their time and energy to practice hard after school or even during holiday to give their best service which make them so precious and so valuable as part of the mass.
Praise the Lord for these young men discerning a vocation to the priesthood.
I've been an acolyte for 3 years and it changed my life when I joined my mom forced me to join but I thought it was boring but now I'm so glad that my mom forced me to join beacouse now I'm considering priesthood beacouse every time I serve in masses I always admire the priest and sometimes I even want to be a priest and trough my 3 year journey of being an acolyte I gain so many friends.
I was an Altar Server for eight years; now, am eight years in the religious life.
This is a beautiful video. I'm an altar server (in my denomination, we are called "acolytes"). It has been something I've yearned to do for my entire life. My Catholic Church allowed female servers, but my parents were against it.
Now I am a young adult, and have chosen a church of my own. I am free to take advantage of all of the many opportunities the Episcopal church offers everyone, regardless of their sex.
I respect denominations that prefer a strict division between males and females, but I must say that females are just as capable and get just as much out of this beautiful experience as males do.
+Family Couponing +Family Couponing I was raised Catholic. I've heard every argument in the book for why Catholicism is the better or even the only true form of Christianity. I'm sorry, but nobody gets to decide who is or isn't Christian. Christianity is believing in Jesus Christ and all that he did and stood for. People are too quick to let politics or personal opinion get in the way. The Catholic Church is just as guilty of this as is any denomination. Play the "I'm the king of the mountain" card all you want, it doesn't change the fact that everyone who believe in Jesus is Christian.
I love this I’m Catholic and as soon as I was old enough I asked to be an altar server and I’ve loved it ever since people argue that it is wrong but God does everything for a reason so that must mean he wants Females to be altar servers and for you parents ( no offence) so stop you from following your vocation was kind of like stopping Gods will
@@Julianakun jews believe that Jesus existed. Are they also Christians?
@@bean7675 idk what you’re talking about. But whatever it is you’re late to the game bro I’m agnostic now lol
Good job, Króluj nam Chryste, from Poland!
I dont go to church, i have a weak faith
But when i start serving at the church my faith grow and i go often to church and it change me alot thank you god
PUBG MOBILE that’s good to here
My age 64 years since from fourth standard doing Alterboy service to Lord Jesus Christ. I like very much, before doing I will pray to God Jesus Christ. Thank to God Jesus Christ Amen.🙏🙏 My first Parish priest is Rev.Fr.Joseph Biscop from London. My church name is our lady of perpetual help church, Seetharamapuram, Nellore Diocese, Andhra Pradesh, India. Since from 1965 doing Alter boy service.
God bless them, I hope they will all be successful in whatever vocation God calls them to.
I'm proud to be a Catholic
Thank you so much for the inspirational video to encourage new altar servers!
I was an altar server for 4 years, and I eventually became an Extraordinary Eucharistic Minister-a role which I still play
Thank you for your ministry 🤍
I will be an altar server in 2 weeks I'm excited to serve God.
Im a altar server and i'll be honest its hard but its fun and you will learn more about God:)
Women are not meant to serve at the Catholic mass ma'm
Deego Benwick de Maria women can serve as servers because it is not something that requires you to be ordained
I'm also an altar server! At my church they only use 2 altar servers at mass! The cross bearer doesn't altar serve during mass!
Good boys this reminds me when i was young i used to serve the altar
I was an altar boy (altar server). It was fun. I remember thinking, "I wanna be the kid that gets to put the stuff on the altar! >:0". My favorite service was when the bishop conducted service. I screwed up too many times to count but looking back it was a cool experience.
Great video. I have only started altar serving and I love it. I could not recommend it higher.
I’m reading your comment 7 years later! Are you still doing it? I just started.
@@RegularStuffs I serve Mass perhaps once a year, as I have three young children, and my parish has an abundance of young men and boys to serve the Lord. I would recommend this experience to anybody, and I will also soon be teaching my son how to do so as well.
I also am a altar server and consider becoming a priest.
Your Tools Are so Cool! Love to Incense Boat
hope that one of these altar server may find his vocation to priesthood...
I am an adult altar server at my Cathedral, I am a female. I find that females on the altar are not a distraction but more of a blessing in the Church. Who's to say that females don't find their vocation to the Religious life just as the same that males find their vocation to the priesthood. As for Lord Dreagon, I find females just as capable on the altar as they are in the military. And if the females are causing a distraction either in the battlefield or on the altar it surely rests with the person that is being distracted not who they are being distracted by. And to you Jenna, do not be nervous, if you make a mistake, brush it off. The reverence one gives while learning is most important not how perfectly things go. To all females and male servers...we are the assistants of the priest, the assistants of Jesus Christ. Do not be discouraged by others we are in great need in many churches today. Ma God Bless and keep us all!!
I so agree!! Tomorrow is my first day as an Altar server, and I love it already, by the training I took! Anyways, girls being Altar servers is amazing. It keeps kids my age out of Hollywood, and in The Church, in The House of God! Girls my age constantly worry to look like the Hollywood stars, and I personally don't want to. When I go to Church, the worlds troubles are closed out, and God is there comforting everyone! So it is great being part of this way of serving God! :)
So true! I'm an altar server at my school and I'm very young for my age (: I've enjoyed doing it. Age and gender shouldn't matter ^.^ I've been leading the altar servers for a few times and it's great!
TITOJUDEPO Yea!! I had a nice time today! A few mistakes here and there, over all, it was nice! God bless ya
Leah Landis As a male altar boy wanting to be a priest, I fully agree!
Leah Landis Because in no way are the virtues of poverty, chastity, and obedience introduced, practiced, or carried out through altar serving. But PRIESTLY qualities are introduced, practiced, and even obtained through altar serving. No, I don't believe female altar servers are a distraction, but altar serving is not a very good way to discern a possible calling for the religious life. It's a way to get closer to God in the liturgies, but in no way are you mimicking the life of a religious sister or brother. But in a lot of ways, you are mimicking the life of a priest.
I don't have a problem seeing a female altar server at the altar, until they start outnumbering the guys. I also have a problem with, "girls have just as much of a right to serve as guys do." Well no, not really. You're given a privilege. Your bishop, in your case, or whoever is your pastor has a right to not allow girls to serve at the altar. John Paul II gave girls this privilege, but said that the pastor of that parish and change that if he pleases.
Wow, this video made me cry... I have to admit that if I were a guy, I'd really desire to be an Altar Server! This is truly impressive work and very eye opening. Thank you for crafting this video together! So well done!
Janisse Flores actually in some churches even some Catholic one girls can be altar servers. In Protestant Reformation, girls can even be priests
pissed off chameleon She knows, she is just an orthodox Catholic
Servizio liturgico eccellente!! Complimenti a tutti voi!!
I'm an altar server. And I'm a girl. I thought girls can't be altar servers. I'm in 4 years of serving God. I like serving cause I get a lot of friends and I enjoyed serving. When I get closer to God, it feels like I want to serve more. But that's not just my reason. I like the feeling when I serve God, I like it when I go through the altar helping the priest. My first day of serving was so scary cause I'm scared of getting mistakes of serving while there's a lot people looking at you and you'll get ashamed. But, I thought that was it. My first day was so good. And I get confident in serving. I don't care if I get mistakes in serving. At least I did my responsibilities as an altar server
Please be very careful. NEVER EVER let yourself be alone with a catholic priest. Run out of the room if you need to. If any priest does something inappropriate to you go to the police FIRST. Do not discuss it with anyone from the church until after you have talked to the police. Be take care of yourself first.
@@witchietaitai Are you retarded? Priest are not pedophiles. If any priest is pedophile it doesn't have nothing to do with priesthood. You have been brainwashed....
Continue to serve God
Altar serving is a beautiful method of serving God. My little sibling is one.
Wow I'm so proud we have a video like this out there🙏😇
beautiful music
What lovely young men.
@@witchietaitai vermin
@@MrISkater yes, they are.
@@witchietaitai Most of those priests are Modernist ones
@@vinhbui2089 No excuses. The church is full of pedophiles
Im an altar server in the philippines I feel you guys
For those of you young people who are considering becoming a server - Please be very careful. NEVER EVER let yourself be alone with a catholic priest. Run out of the room if you need to. If any priest does something inappropriate to you go to the police FIRST. Do not discuss it with anyone from the church until after you have talked to the police. Please take care of yourself first.
Not all priests are like the ones that make the news
Benazir Fernandes You blind, ignorant idiot. Cognitive dissonance is a bitch, isn’t it? Keep telling yourself that thousands of children lied about being raped by priests and maybe you’ll start to really believe it
God bless all of us 🙏🏻
Well, there are least people attending the mass. Our church is always crowded with people
I got inspired by these Altar Servers i wasn't an active Altar Server but when i saw this video. it so Amazing!
Thnx now i am a succesful altar server
Altar Server for life!

awe you're poor cornhole
Yes
Hi. I am an altar Server From the Philippines♥
in my church the girls are also allowed to be the altar servers but im to afraid too ask if i can also become the one (im a girl)
Definitely go and ask I was scared before but now I’ve been a server for 5 years and I’m even part of the guild of St Stephen if you have a strong feeling about it then it’s Gods will for you to become one so ask 😊
I'm been serving as a alter boy for 5 years I started when I was 8
I'm so sorry for you. I hope you can get away soon
@@witchietaitai i’ll pray for you
@@user-mv6cp4ne9r That's a great way to waste your time - murmuring to yourself for me.
If you really believe your god will hear you, pray for all the children who have been raped and/or beaten by nuns and priests. Idiot
@@witchietaitai i do pray for them but i also pray for the preist and nuns. Also i pray for people like you and those who call them selves pastors. Pastors have rapped more children than preist and nuns have. The idiot is you who will probably burn in hell if you don’t convert
@@user-mv6cp4ne9r Oh how delusional you are! Priests rapped many many more children than pastors. They were protected and shuttled to the next church to repeat their evil deeds. Do some research-and I’m not talking media stories- research actual court cases. Educate yourself so you don’t sound like an ignorant fool. As for you threats of hell, that’s the same as me telling you that Santa won’t bring you presents if you aren’t a good boy. It’s the old standard passive-aggressive response from the indoctrinated who can’t think of anything logical to say. It’s a school boy chant of “My daddy can beat up your daddy”. The thing is, it’s only a threat to the those who buy into the whole sky daddy and eternal punishment crap
Pray the Rosary!
I have done it I've done it like 13 times and it's nice
I should of done this when I was young I could of avoided a lot of sins I have committed and retired early as a Priest.
I served like this in church,when i was 12 years old.i really miss this moment.
Greetings from Indonesia and God Bless All😇
I am an altar server and i am a girl. There are many girl altar servers in my church
Pope Gelasius in his ninth letter (chap. 26) to the bishops of Lucania condemned the evil practice which had been introduced of women serving the priest at the celebration of Mass. Since this abuse had spread to the Greeks, Innocent IV strictly forbade it in his letter to the bishop of Tusculum: "Women should not dare to serve at the altar; they should be altogether refused this ministry." We too have forbidden this practice in the same words in Our oft-repeated constitution Etsi Pastoralis, sect. 6, no. 21."
Mari's RandomChannel Because you are not from Tridentine parish, now if you are from a novusordo parish of corse every one would be a girl. Look up the difference
I remember the Latin Mass at Incarnation and used to attend. Now I sometimes attend at Epiphany in Tampa.
I was in Alta server at Queen of peace Catholic Church in Houston Texas
Im a new alter server can't wait for my first Mass
As someone who was allowed to be in the first group of girls trained as an altar server in the 90's, I'm so disappointed in how we've moved backward in time. I loved altar serving and it was among the things that led me to a vocation in professional lay ministry.
It's literally amazing to be an altar server!
I am a altar server in my country from Philippines
🙏🙏😉👍🇵🇭🇵🇭😇
I’m so happy to be born in this day and age where I’m allowed to be an altar server and in church I am treated the same as the boys there are still barriers for girls in the church but we are getting closer to becoming equal
Barriers? What barriers? Equality is already achieved. I do agree I’m glad in the modern era you as a female can be an Altar Server, but women can never be ordained clergy, it goes against the teachings of Christ’s Church. But women can be religious sisters or other ministers within the Church.
I am a Altar Server! :D I love being a Altar Server!
today was my last day serving at mass, I started serving in fourth grade and i just finished as a Freshman.
+KYR FASTLY why last?
+andrea alcaraz I just felt like I was done for some reason since I am in highschool now but I feel God will somehow bring me back
there were too many times I thought I'm done, and every now and then I still go back :D God bless you.
I'm a alter boy from Kiribati 🇰🇮 good luck guys
I wish I could be an altar server!
It's fun to assist the priest and do something part of the church ceremonies
There is no more formative experience for a boy than kneeling before the Altar of God with all of the Saints in the Roman Canon. That's where Priests come from. +AMDG+
i love being a altar servers
I am being a therifer (Insence person) for the first time on christmas eve mass this satarday yall pray for me I dont mess up God Bless.
Cool looking sacred vessels our sacred vessels is old and quite rusty we have 6 kinds of bell in our church
1 Sanctus Bell 2 Single bell 3 The bell we us during processions 4 The Two Bell on the bell tower 5 We have an indoor bell 6 Matraka (we use this during holy week) anyways our old vessels is supee old our church was built in 1977 which is a long period of time The sanctus bell isn't that loud anymore ;(
I’m a witch, and if you look at Catholism, it’s reallyyyyy witchy dude! The altars, the candles. The purifying rituals, the blessing rituals. The incense. It’s really witchy
It's nice to be an altar server.
This training of the altar server is for tridentine mass.
Thank for offering the Traditional Latin Mass. If only more parishes offered that mass.....
Thank you for having your women covering their hair, I wish all parishes did that as was always done throughout the entire Catholic world 40 years ago.
Also thank you for not following modernism practices. Keep it up!
There is no way that bread turns into Jesus. So if we are really eating him then what part of his body is it? Does everyone get him whole body or just a part of it?
But is it all of him in each piece of bread or is it just like some skin cells? Its not important but im just cureus.
Can you tell me so i dont have to look it up. Im watching videos.Maybe if theres a yt video of it but i dont want to read stuff.
Ok. So why doesnt the bread they give out at church turn into human skin then?
Well my parents said its fake and that its still just bread.
Yeah! I have heard lot about the special relations between alter boys and priests!
In today's generation the best example for each and every alter boys is blessed Carlo acutis a great example of today's youth n modern technology love towards sacrament .
Yes, but I would include at the forefront St. Tarcisius, a very young boy who was killed by robbers bravely delivering Consecrated Hosts to persecuted Catholics in the Third Century.
Im alter server and it changes my life no more bully #loveforserver
Pipkin, do not be sad! Rejoice! This is so rare and so beautiful. You still have your altar girls, but this is something that we do not see enough of in my humble opinion. You were inspired to be a "professional" lay minister? is that were you get paid money to serve? Think about it.
Umm priests get paid too, right? They dont take a vow of poverty and make more than most lay professional ministers. Many women religious also get paid to be professional ministers.
gosh thats alot of servers at a reguler Mass at our church [St.Josephs Catholic Church] there is only 3 people i am also an alter server and i consider being a priest but i dont know.
Why do so many Catholic churches on the east coast, including Florida, have so few people attending Mass? Gee, in Texas, it's standing room only. Our churches are packed. On Ash Wednesday, ashes were given on the hour from 7 am to 7 pm and there were people coming continually. And it is not crowded just at Christmas and at Easter. Even ordinary Sundays have full pews at all Masses.
Well, education level might have something to do with it LOL
The lower the education, the more religious a people are. And with that, the higher the chances of unwed pregnancy, poverty, criminal activity, etc...
But don't worry! People are turning away from the church in droves, so Texas will catch up soon enough
@@witchietaitai And where did you get this information from "people are turning away from the church in droves." Yes, unfortunately people are turning away from the Church, but look at how terrible society is now, especially with the recent passing of the New York abortion law.
Ludwig van Beethoven Again, continue to remain in denial or do some impartial research. Countless polls show people, especially young people leaving the church- in droves
Last i check many catholics church goers are becoming ex catholics and joining other christian dominations or joing other religions out side of the Christian ones. As at my Pentecostal church we gain many ex catholics through out the years.
Very manly and very beautiful.
Thank you for this video.
They boys and young men are well catechized! Some of them are priests in the making.
I am not RC but the service is interesting....have been to Mass many times, including a funeral during which we were all invited to take Communion, which I found surprising. mind you it was a military Padre and funeral on base, and I always found them most ecumenical regardless of their faith. When I was active duty we had a RC Padre who had converted from Anglican, he was married and had children. Special dispensation from Rome.
Great!
Today Im Gonna be a Altar Server!
Woffollish I’m glad to hear I’m currently a alter sever and when I grow up want to be a priest
I used to be an altar server!
GOD4LIFE
I have been an alter server for the past 1year❤
When the guy was carrying the snuffer to light the candles, why did he have his hand cupped over the flame?
Sadly the back ground music is drowning out what is being said.
I love being at alter
Servers I have collected 40 children in my parish and all have bec alter servers
So I am a Altar server on the Philippines I was just amazed on how altar servers serve masses on other country
God bless these kids
God blessed you Alter server..
This is a very nice video
Where are the female altar servers????
Pipkin84 It’s the TLM no female Altar servers
Our lord Jesus christ 🙏
I WOULD'VE LOVED TO DO ALTER SERVER I WISH I COULD DO ALTER SERVER PEOPLE TELL ME I CAN'T DO THAT BECAUSE I'M IN A WHEELCHAIR
Such a shame that the catholic church would discriminate against you like that. Look at the bright side - you saved yourself from possible sexual abuse
I am a grown up man with children, can I still become a mass server?
chris jide you could be a Eucharistic minister
yes, you can!
you want to serve these peado priests
Keep your children far far away from this church if you care anything about them
There’s only one reason a grown man would want to be a server- access to children. Disgusting
