Lectors
Junior Readers: 7+
Youth Lectors: 11+
Young children who can read with clarity and care are on occasion invited to lead prayers and short readings at the 9am Mass.
More experienced readers have participated in reader workshops and are invited to audition with the Head Lector, Ms. Lewis, to become a Youth Lector, around the time of their Confirmation.
Acolytes
For ages 7+
Children and their families are encouraged to train as Acolytes for the 9 am Mass. As they grow in experience and confidence, they are introduced to new roles, ringing the Sanctus bells, being a boat bearer to preparing incense and being a Crucifer in procession.
Contact the Vergers Office to access the schedule for readers, intercessors, and acolytes.

Registration is required and parents are required to remain on site when their children are participating in Nursery or Sunday School programs.
