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 Cathedral 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. Those who are in…

Altar Guild

A centerpiece of Mass is the Altar. Setting the Lord's table is a very specific task and members of the Altar Guild are responsible for setting up and refreshing the altar for all church services when Holy Communion is served in addition to providing additional support for other services.

Oblationer Guild

The Oblationer ministry brings the offerings of bread and wine (Sacraments) to the Altar. The wine carafe and bread container are carried by lay people to the altar steps and given to an Acolyte. Oblationers are often a family, though anyone may serve with any parishioner or by themselves. As they offer the "oblations" of the congregation, they are referred to…

Usher Guild

Ushers greet Parishioners and visitors to the Cathedral at the door at all services on Sundays and distribute service bulletins to attendees. Ushers also collect the offering and present it during each Sunday service. They also assist in guiding Parishioners to the communion rail to receive the Holy Communion. For more information contact Ashley Wells.


Verger Guild

In ancient times the Verger was the Protector of the Procession in the Church. The Verger was the first person in the procession that "cleared" the way as the procession made its way to the Altar. Today's Vergers are laypersons who serve the Church in a welcoming ministry. In addition to organizing and leading the procession, Vergers are especially helpful assisting visiting cler…
