ACOLYTES

Orthodox boys, aged 9-18, are invited to share in this most special and joyous ministry of serving Christ and the Church as Acolytes (followers of the priest) before the Holy Altar of God.

An acolyte or an altar boy is a term used for someone who, though unordained, performs liturgical duties such as lighting altar candles, preparing charcoal for incense, and assisting the major orders with the liturgy. Acolytes are given a keen insight into the beauty and importance our Divine Liturgy has in our lives.

For those interested in serving as an Acolyte, please contact Yianni Maris at fishytuxedo@gmail.com.
