Saint George's Acolytes Serving at the altar is one of the most demanding and rewarding responsibilities in the church, and it is entrusted to our young people. To the casual worshiper the duties of an acolyte may appear simple and not terribly important. To the Priest Celebrant, however, the assistance of these knowledgeable and disciplined servers is invaluable. Our acolytes are members of The International Order of St. Vincent which was officially founded in 1915 at The Church of The Advent in Boston. Our kids are dedicated and we are tremendously proud of them.
Membership is voluntary, and new singers are always welcomed.
This group is also responsible for arranging the vestments of the Priest, the sacred elements used in Holy Communion, and the brassware used on and around the altar. Membership follows a period of training, and ongoing education is provided by Diocesan workshops and regular meetings on the parish level. The members of this group come from many different faith backgrounds, and bring our surrounding neighborhood into the life of our parish. All rights reserved.
