All families are invited to join the All Saints’ community each Sunday during the worship service. Children, aged 3 – 5th grade, will also have a chance to experience church differently each week during Children’s Chapel.

Club 45
Acolyte

Acolytes play a vital role in leading our worship services, assisting the clergy in carrying out the liturgy with reverence and grace. They carry processional crosses, torches, and banners, light candles, and help prepare the altar for Holy Communion. Serving as an acolyte is a meaningful way to deepen one’s faith, learn more about Episcopal traditions, and actively contribute to the rhythm and beauty of our worship. This opportunity is open to youth and adults who feel called to serve in this capacity.

Please contact Nicolas Mandolini, Director of Youth and Children, for more information.
