After many months of work, the MATER DEI KNIGHTS OF THE ALTAR HANDOOK has been released!!! Since June 2023, Jeff Zyzda, Fr. Mark Stoll, a group of parents and other volunteers have been developing Mater Dei Parish's Altar Server program and roll out of new procedures and developments in February 2024. At the same time, referring to the original 1939 text for the Society of the Knights of the Altar [posted in the list of documents below] and a few other resources, Jeff and Fr. Mark have developed a handbook for the Mater Dei Parish Altar Server Program. The Mater Dei Knights of the Altar Handbook has been approved by the Mater Dei Parish Council and Fr. Brad. Thus, the Mater Dei Parish Altar Server Program is now known as the Mater Dei Knights of the Altar and the Mater Dei Knights of the Altar Handbook has been posted in the list of documents below. Stay tune for further details and developments as we introduce ranks including Recruit, Apprentice, and Knight with the first investiture taking place on 1 December 2024. The second document in the list offers additional information including on how you can support the program.
