Don't let servers attend the altar until they've read this guide!
Covers the Sacramentary, Lectionary, Order of the Mass, and much more.
I have found this book to be a valuable aid in the training of new servers. It provides them a source document and a goal with which to evaluate their qualification to serve.
The Knights of Columbus council at our church purchases the "Called to Serve - a Guidebook for Altar Servers" by Fr. Albert Nevins for our Altar Server Ministry for training new servers. We past a picture of our sanctuary, with all the items used at mass in the picture and labeled using a computer, on page 16. There are some errors on page 20 in the first two paragraphs that need be corrected with a pen. The new servers and their parents love this manual and it allows parents to help at home.
As a younger server, I learned Latin and the motions of the Server. These resources are great in helping me now 65 years later being a good server.
