September 2023:

The new uniforms for girls are here. Please plan to arrive a few minutes early and check in at the sacristy to receive instructions. 

Boys also have a change in uniform. Servers will no longer wear red. This liturgical color will be reserved for priests and deacons on the appropriate occasions such as: Pentecost, Confirmation, the Lord’s Passion, and the feast days of Martyrs. 

Both boys and girls who previously wore red, have earned the privilege of wearing a Benedictine Crucifix over their uniform to mark their achievement.

Girls who previously wore the surplice with black embroidered crosses, have earned the privilege of wearing a Miraculous Medal over their uniform to mark their achievement.

Boys who have earned the surplice with black embroidered crosses will continue to wear it.

Thank you for serving!
