Monster Mash Help
THE MONSTER MASH IS ON...but we still need help setting up and helping

volunteering 1 hour of your time. Please email Maria Crowder Zubrick
at mccrowder@sbcglobal.net.

An Invitation to Serve - Altar Servers
Saint Simon Church is beginning the training of new Altar Servers. Boys
and girls in grades 5, and 6 are invited to train to be Altar Servers.
Serving at Mass is a special privilege. Altar Serving allows you to be
close to the altar, to carry the cross, to assist the Presider, to wear
the robe of baptism, to hold the book of the prayers, and to be an
example of reverence for the community.
There will be THREE sessions to be completed and installed as an Altar Server. All sessions will take place in the Church.
Session 1: Weds. October 7th, 3:15-5:00pm
Session 2: Weds. October 14th, 3:15-5:00pm
Session 3: Weds. October 21st, 3:15-5:00pm
