Acolytes Guild
Ready to Expand

St. Paul’s Church is preparing to expand the number of acolytes who assist with services on Sunday morning. Acolytes should be in the fourth grade or higher, and can continue to serve as long as they like.

Training sessions are provided, as are the vestments worn by the acolytes. And acolytes can serve at either of the two Sunday services.

Anyone who would like to be an acolyte should contact Anne Havard at 734-8501 or Fr. James at 732-4821.
