The acolyte program at St. Paul’s gives middle and high school students the opportunity to become active participants in our worship services. Acolytes assist at services in many ways: helping prepare for the Eucharist, carrying the torches or clergy cross in the procession or receiving the alms. Many find that participating and sitting in the front of the church gives them a different perspective, and this often gives the service a deeper meaning.  Acolytes learn more about the church and also have fun!

Training goes on throughout the year so new acolytes are welcome at any time. Schedules are coordinated monthly taking individual scheduling conflicts into account. Each acolyte serves approximately once every four to six weeks.
