3rd to 5th Grade Acolyte Opportunities
St. Joseph’s Acolytes
Acolytes are such an important part of our worship service that I
would like to invite children 3rd thru 5th grade who may be interested
in becoming a beginning acolyte to consider this ministry to serve
our Lord in this very special way.
There are four levels of acolytes:
- Beginning Level- All new acolytes start at this
level by learning how and when to carry the torcheS
- Junior Level- After much experience during services with torches
new responsibilities will be added including lighting and extinguishing
candles and accepting items from the ushers.
- Senior Level-These acolytes have at least two years serving experience
and will help with various parts of the Eucharist including such
things as presenting the elements and ringing the bells
- Adults- These are experienced high school and adult acolytes.
The new acolytes will be scheduled two (2) at a time once or twice
every other month to serve on the Altar. They will need to arrive at
8:55 the day they are scheduled for a brief training and then they
will be shadowed and trained on the altar by an experienced acolyte
or leader.
If you feel your child is ready to make this commitment please e mail
me at sst33483@gmail.com.
Sincerely Yours,
Sherry Thomas
Acolyte Master

whose parents feel may not be ready to attend a full church service
Bulletins, Books & Seat Markers
Find Children’s Books, Bulletins & “seat
markers” in church by the name tag table. Parents are asked
to pick up a green “seat marker” to place next to them
in the pew. This will reserve enough space for a child who enters
church following Sunday School.
You are invited to take your children to Sunday School or the Nursery
before going to church. Teachers will escort Sunday school children
back to church during the Passing of the Peace & before Communion.
Children in the Nursery are brought to their families at Communion.
