Acolytes
Acolytes prepare the altar and sacred vessels for the liturgy and assist the presider during the liturgy. They are prepared and are sensitive to the way in which they can influence the atmosphere of prayer by their presence. They arrive early and stay late, making sure that everything and everyone needed for the celebration of liturgy is ready.
