ACOLYTES

Until 1973, being an Acolyte referred to the being a cleric in Minor Orders, specifically the highest of the four minor orders in the Western Church. Today the term Acolyte refers to Altar Servers, Candle Bearers and Cross Bearers.

All young men and women of the parish, third-grade and older may become Acolytes. You must be a part of our Kairos Youth Program which includes attending Mass on all Sundays and Holy Days of obligation, attend our Catechetical program and be a young Catholic role model to others.

Training sessions are held frequently throughout the year, usually at 5:00 PM on Wednesdays. Notice of training is in the bulletin. Our acolytes are among the best!
