On this day we will honor our young people who serve as Acolytes at St. John’s. Acolytes assist the priest with worship services: they carry the cross, torches, and flags during the procession, and they help the priest prepare for Communion. As acolytes, youth cultivate leadership and responsibility within the church. We are very proud of these young members of our parish and hope that you will thank them for the time they devote to this special ministry.
