Acolytes


acolyteWorking under the leadership of the verger, acolyte director and sacristans, young people ages ten through high school serve in the liturgy. They carry the cross and torches and banners in the processions and they hold the gospel book for the deacon. As they serve in the liturgy, these young people contribute to the parish in important ways, and they learn about the care we bring to the worship of God.

Older acolytes, who demonstrate particular dedication and skill in their work, are selected to serve as sacristans, a position of great responsibility in the liturgy.
