Liturgical Ministries

Acolytes

The primary duties of an acolyte are to serve God and the Church and to assist the priest in whatever way needed at the altar. Young people age eight years through high school contribute to our worship by their service as acolytes. They must be participating, baptized members of the parish. Acolytes serve on rotating teams of four to five youth, trained by our Acolyte Master.

The Altar Guild is a group of parishioners who are trained in caring for the altar and its appointments and in preparing the sanctuary for each service. The members are organized into teams who serve on a monthly basis.

Choir

St. Michael's worship through music is supported by a 22 rank, two-manual console pipe organ and a choir. The choir, led by the organist-choirmaster, contributes to the congregational worship at the 10 a.m. Sunday service.
