Acolyte Festival
Saturday, May 13, 2023, 9:00 AM
Please note: This event has been canceled.
(April 26, 2023) Bishop Deon Johnson has decided to cancel the Acolyte Festival planned for Saturday, May 13, due to low registration numbers.
We thank everyone on the planning team from Christ Church Cathedral for their efforts. We hope to be able to offer this great opportunity again in the future.
Original post (registration form has been removed):
All acolytes and acolyte directors in the Diocese of Missouri are invited to our Acolyte Festival on Saturday, May 13, 2023, at Christ Church Cathedral in St. Louis.
The event will run from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. and will include training sessions, lunch, and a procession of acolytes with Bishop Deon Johnson. We'll learn about the many different roles acolytes perform in our worship services.
Youth and adult acolytes as well as acolyte directors and clergy members are welcome. Parents, family, spouses, and friends are welcome to attend the Procession of Acolytes at 1 p.m. (please arrive by 12:30 p.m.)
There is no cost for the event and lunch will be served. Churches are asked to provide their acolytes with vestments (albs), thuribles and stand, processional crosses and base, and church banners and base. Streamers are also welcome. Please label your bases with your church name.
This festival is hosted by Christ Church Cathedral and is being organized by Head Verger and Acolyte Director Laura Rose.
Plan to join this fun and informative gathering of youth and adults dedicated to serving in worship throughout the Diocese.
