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, OR if you would like to receive the current schedule with names of group members, please contact Fr. Emmanuel via email.

ALL ALTAR SERVERS are invited and encouraged to attend and serve at any weekday service that does not interfere with school or work responsibilities, as well as on Sundays when there is no Sunday School. The regular Sunday schedule is listed below:
