These lay ministers are charged with caring for the altar, vestments, vessels, and altar linens of the parish. The members also prepare the sanctuary and nave for services. We currently have four teams that prepare for Sunday services and a fifth team that prepares for services during the week. All members share in preparation for funerals and weddings.
A wonderful lay ministry for worship, especially for young parishioners (typically grades 4-12). Acolytes participate in processions, light candles, help set up and clean the altar, assist clergy with various other tasks including incense, and also help some parishioners at steps toward the altar rail. Acolyte captains have responsibilities for the offertory and for altar bells. Training from the Acolyte Master required.
