What EXACTLY is a "server" in a catholic church?

Answer 1

An altar server is a lay assistant to a member of the clergy during a religious service. Altar servers attend to supporting tasks at the altar such as fetching and carrying, ringing a bell etc. An altar server usually has no formal training and holds no formal religious position; however, in some regions and religions, altar servers are expected to be recognizable through behavior and relation to others.

Answer 2

a server is one or two of the kids, or someone else, at my church it was the kids that went to the sunday school and were going to be confirmed to be catholic, what they do is help the priest when he is getting the bread and wine ready.

Answer 3

the server is "the celebrant's assistant at low mass", and the celebrant is the "priest officiating at the Eucharist"

And Eucharist is "Communion", and Communion is a "Christian sacrament in which consecrated bread and wine are consumed as memorials of Christ's death or as symbols for the realization of a spiritual union between Christ and communicant or as the body and blood of Christ"

I didn't know what those words meant that's why I've included those extra definitions, because I was looking it up in the dictionary.

Answer 4

Any person who assists during a religious service is called an alter server.

With love in Christ.
