Acolytes

The Acolyte Program at St Mark’s Cathedral is for young people in the 5th through 12th grades. Acolytes assist the priest in our Worship Services. They also may serve at special events such as Annual Church Conventions and funerals. A person must attend on Acolyte Training Session per year. We have an Early Bird Training Session on August 13th after the 10:30 Eucharist Service. We normally have at least one more training session in September.
