Saint Monica’s Acolyte Program offers all parishioners the opportunity to participate in our services from a unique perspective. The term acolyte comes from the Greek word akolouthos, meaning “follower” or “attendant”. Acolytes continue the traditions of the Church by participating in processions as Crucifers, Torch and Flag-bearers, lighting and extinguishing candles, and assisting the priest in preparing for the Eucharist.
Acolytes receive training to play a major role in the service. Anyone of age can join this group by contacting the Acolyte Master.
