The Church teaches that God calls each of His children to serve in different capacities. If God is calling you to be an Altar Server, you would have the sense of peace deciding to take the next step in asking to server at His Altar.
According to the USCCB guidelines:
Absolutely. We have a team of qualified individuals who train the Altar Servers and there are normally additional training sessions throughout the year even after you become an installed Altar Server.
If you are interested in becoming an Altar Server, and are under the age of 18, please have a parent contact a priest in the rectory. If you are over the age of 18, please contact the rectory to schedule an appointment with a priest.
