Altar Boys
Dear Parents– Serving in God’s Altar is indeed an honor. The Altar is called the “Holy of Holies” so this is a very sacred place. As Altar boys they will be assisting Fr. Dean, Metropolitan Savas, and any Visiting Clergy during Divine Services. The Participation of your young boys is invaluable and very important to the smooth practice of the Holy services. Not only do they have a wonderful opportunity to serve the Church, but they are also presented with a unique experience to see the services from a different perspective. This is a very serious commitment and your boys should enter the Altar with faith and the upmost respect. Scripture Readings concerning the Altar.
