Their duties may include carrying items like the candle, cross, or incense during the ceremony, as well as helping to set up the altar for the service. Altar servers play a vital role in enhancing the worship experience by ensuring that everything runs smoothly. They are typically trained by the church and may serve during various events, including Mass, weddings, and funerals, contributing to the overall atmosphere of reverence and devotion.
