Acolytes at St. Faustina Church

The diocesan guidelines states: Acolytes are men appointed to aid deacons and to minister to the priests.

 They assist at the altar during Mass, and are extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion.

They assist in the preparations before and after the Mass, as well as in purifying the sacred vessels.

 They may also, when necessary, expose or repose the Blessed Sacrament for public adoration, but not with blessing the people.
