What is the side table used for in the Catholic church?
You may be referring to a low altar, one or two of them being toward the sides of the church outside the sanctuary, or area around the main altar? These were (and in some churches still are) also used for offering the Mass. These days, most churches only use the main altar for Mass, and the old side altars may be used as places of prayer or to reserve the Blessed Sacrament. If you meant a small table near the main altar, it is likely the credence table, used to hold the gifts of wine and bread before they are consecrated during Mass. Hope this helps!
