ALTAR SERVER'S GUIDE

ALTAR SERVER’S GUIDE by Tumusiime Brian Amooti is a spiritually enriching and educational book that invites altar servers and indeed all Catholics to a deeper appreciation of their calling to serve God at His holy altar.

Written with the guidance of faithful mentors and rooted firmly in the teachings of the Catholic Church, this guide serves as both a practical manual and a spiritual companion.

The book covers essential topics such as:

• The definition, mission, and qualities of an altar server
• The prayers before and after Mass and daily life prayers
• The preparation of the altar server for service
• The virtues needed in ministry
• The vestments of altar servers, priests, bishops, cardinals, and the Pope
• The sacred vessels, linens, and liturgical books used in the Church
• The liturgical colors and seasons of the Church year
• The vocation and communication of every Christian disciple

With clear explanations, inspirational reflections, and authentic Catholic spirituality, this book helps altar servers understand not only what they do, but why they do it with reverence, humility, and joy.

Every page encourages young servers to imitate Christ, who came “not to be served, but to serve” (Matthew 20:28), and to follow the example of St. Tarcisius, the patron saint of altar servers, in loving Jesus with all their hearts.

Whether used in parish training, catechism classes, or personal reflection, Altar Server’s Guide is a timeless resource that helps the faithful grow in service, holiness, and love for the Holy Eucharist.
