Ministry of Altar Servers

Serving at the table of the Lord. Named for Saint Peter — the rock on which Christ built His Church, and the keeper of the keys of heaven — our ministry serves with reverence, discipline, and devotion.

Our Patron

Saint Peter, Keeper of the Keys

San Pedro Cathedral is dedicated to Saint Peter, the first Pope and the fisherman called by Christ to be a “fisher of men.” The crossed keys in our emblem — the keys of the Kingdom — remind every altar server that our service at the altar is a sacred trust.

The Ministry of Altar Servers serves at the Holy Mass and the liturgy of San Pedro Cathedral, the mother church of the Archdiocese of Davao.
