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.
