Liturgical Ministries

Many of the important liturgical functions of our church services are entrusted to the laity, calling upon the gifts of many different people serving together to the glory of God.

The Customary specifies individual roles and liturgical responsibilities during worship.


Acolyte Guild

A gateway to a lifetime of serving the Church, the mission of the Acolyte Guild is to guide the young people at St. Paul’s on a path of Christian faith and spiritual growth. They do this through assisting the clergy of St. Paul’s during each Sunday service and on special occasions. Adult acolyte masters mentor the young acolytes before and during church services.

Ushers greet Parishioners and visitors to the Cathedral at the door at all services on Sundays and distribute service bulletins to attendees.

Verger Guild
