Usually, but not always, our youth carry the torches and cross during the procession that marks the start of the service, ring the bells at a designated point during the Eucharist, and ready the altar rail for those taking communion.
Training is provided so that acolytes may experience their birds’-eye view of the service with confidence and ease. Acolyte festivals also allow participants to join with others who share this ministry for fun and instruction.
