Acolytes

The order of acolytes is one of the most ancient ministries in the Church. Acolytes carry flags, crosses, and banners during the service. They also assist the clergy of Saint Thomas’ with preparing the altar for Holy Communion. Young men and women who have been confirmed (6th- 12th grade) are invited to join this ministry. 

Torch Bearers

Torchbearers add to the majesty of our service through the carrying of torches, and are an example of reverent and joyful worship to the entire congregation. The order of torchbearers gives our younger men and women (ages 8-12) the opportunity to become a more active and visible part of our liturgy.
