Installation of Acolytes

Saint John’s Seminary invites the friends and families of our seminarians to join us for the Installation of Acolytes, celebrated by Bishop Robert P. Reed, Rector of Saint John’s Seminary.

The institution of acolytes is an important step in priestly formation. Through this ministry, seminarians are entrusted with assisting at the altar and serving the Church’s celebration of the Eucharist.

“Take this vessel with wine for the celebration of the Eucharist. Make your life worthy of your service at the table of the Lord and of his Church.”
