Any Orthodox Christian boy in 3rd-12th grade is permitted to serve as an Acolyte (Altar Server) in the Holy Altar for Divine services. This is both a privilege and a serious commitment for both parents and boys who will serve.

If your boy isn't currently on a list but you would like him to be in an Altar Group please contact Fr. Emmanuel.
