Calling all Torch Bearers, Crucifers, and Eucharistic Ministers!

There will be training for both seasoned and new participants in St. Michael’s liturgy on Saturday, February 18, from 10:00-11:30 a.m. During this training we will receive instruction about these liturgical ministries, as well as learn more about the meaning of our Sunday worship with an “instructed Eucharist.”

Trying to Make Sense of Episcopal Terms?

Torch Bearer: A person who carries a candle in a religious procession. Often the Crucifer is followed by two “Torches” -- two people carrying candles mounted on short staffs.

Crucifer: A person in a religious procession who carries a large cross (a processional cross), leading the procession into and out of the church.

Eucharistic Minister: Someone who assists the priest in distributing the bread and the wine of the Eucharist; also, someone who gives Holy Communion to those who are sick or housebound.
