To Serve
Acolytes
The Acolytes of Saint Mark's are engaged in a mission of Divine service at God's altar in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament.
It is desirable that the priest be assisted by an acolyte at most celebrations, services, and rites. It is very important for acolytes to know the order of service as well as their particular assignments.
All youngsters, old and young alike, are encouraged to participate in this ministry. Training not only consists of learning the proper ecclesiastical movement and the handling of liturgical hardware, but also a study of church architecture, and the symbolism and origin of liturgical practice.
