National Mass

In addition to the local diocesan Masses and other events for servers, each year the Guild hosts a National Mass for Altar Server’s young and old, and their families, to celebrate our work and remember and pray for our dedicated serving brothers and sisters who have gone to their eternal reward. Servers from outside the UK are always welcome to attend.

As part of the programme of renewal of the Guild, under the guidance of Cardinal Nichols, in 2018 it was decided to change the location of the Mass each year to a different diocese around the country so as to reach as many Altar Server’s as possible. Every alternate year the Mass is held at the Guild’s home of Westminster Cathedral. Please see our Events page for more information on all upcoming events.
