Acolytes

Acolyte means an attendant or follower and Samuel (1 Samuel 2:18-21) is one of the first examples of an assistant to a priest. The job of an acolyte is to assist the celebrant (the priest in charge of a worship service) and enhance the worship service to help glorify God. Serving as an acolyte is a commitment of your time and talent to the Lord’s service, which is greatly appreciated.

Here at Holy Trinity we have a long history of acolytes in this wonderful ministry. Children from approximately 4th grade through adulthood serve each weekend. Whether a crucifer, torch bearer, gospel or epistle acolyte, our acolytes serve with great dedication. We have trained and awarded six Master Acolytes to the ministry and two of those Master Acolytes have gone on to become Vergers.

We have continued training for any interested parishioners. Please contact Vern Lester or Chris Arter for any questions.
