Acolyting

Contact: Father Tom or Mother Elizabeth

Acolytes and Vergers work directly under the direction of our Rector, Fr. Tom and Mtr. Elizabeth, and also assist the Deacon Maureen, as they go about leading us in worship.

Acolytes assist with lighting candles, carrying crosses, torches, and banners. They also help set the “table,” the Altar, as it is made ready for Holy Communion. Acolytes help the ushers after they have collected our offerings and present the gifts of bread and wine at the Altar.

Anyone, youths grade 4 and up through adults, are welcome in the Acolyte ministry. If you are interested, please see Fr. Tom or Mtr. Elizabeth.
