Guild of St. Stephen/Altar Servers
Training for new Altar Servers 2025
If you would like to become an Altar Server, and play a valued role each week by supporting our priests during Mass at St. Bartholomew’s, please email norburymc@rcaos.org.uk to request an online application form.
You need to have made your First Holy Communion and be passionate about becoming an Altar Server.
There will be two linked training sessions taking place on Sundays 16 & 23 November at 18:00 in the church. The deadline for submitting application forms is Saturday 15 November. All applicants are required to attend both sessions, as they are essential to the training process.

The Guild of St. Stephen helps Altar Servers deepen their understanding of the role they play at Mass - encouraging reverence, prayerfulness, and a growing sense of vocation. It supports high standards of service during the Church’s liturgies, helping the whole community take part more fully in the worship of God.
At St. Bartholomew’s, our Altar Servers play a valued role each week by supporting our Clergy during Mass. Initial training usually takes place in June, but new Servers are very welcome to join us at any time.
There is no cost involved in becoming an Altar Server.
