Serving in the Holy Altar allows young men third grade and up a unique blessing and perspective on Orthodox liturgical life. By assisting in the Holy Altar young men are afforded the opportunity to participate in the Holy Services in an intimate way. The Assumption also offers periodic altar boy retreats and workshops.

Young men who wish to serve in the altar should be regular Sunday school attendees, and are expected to arrive prior to the start of Liturgy (9:45) on Sunday mornings. They should wear black dress shoes, slacks, and a collared shirt with a tie. Parents who would like more information should contact the Youth director anastasios@assumptiongoc.org or by phone at (314)966-2255
