Acolytes, Eucharistic Ministers, & Eucharistic Visitors
Youth and adults may train to serve as acolytes: to carry the cross or torches, light candles, and assist the priest or deacon in setting up the altar.
Eucharistic Ministers assist at the altar and Eucharistic Visitors take the elements from communion to those parishioners who are homebound or hospitalized.
Training is required. Contact Susan Nelson, Verger.
