Acolytes

There is a vibrant Sunday School program at St. Mary's, but we welcome our youth to be leaders in worship as well.  There are a large variety of roles available for children as young as 4 years old all the way up to our high school students.  Some of these roles include: carrying the cross in procession (crucifer), carrying the Gospel book (Gospel Bearer), carrying torches to light the way for the Gospel (torch bearers), helping to set the table for Holy Communion, ringing bells at the elevation of the bread and wine during Holy Communion, reading Holy Scripture, and more.  Acolytes generally serve on the first Sunday of each month when school is in session.

If interested in participating, please let Fr. Philip know.  No prior experience is needed to volunteer and all are welcome!
