Acolyte guild led by Mr. David Gould, ​Canterbury Chaplain 

The pandemic kept us from gathering in community, but now we are back together and excited to watch our altar server team grow and flourish under the leadership of Mr. David Gould. All ages are invited to join and be part of this team of torch and cross bearers, candle lighters, Sanctus bell ringers, and incense bearers. Acolytes receive a new color of ribbon to wear based on their years of service. It's on-the-job training for the most part. Altar servers arrive a little early to vest (they wear a black cassock and white cotta), get instructions, and light candles, then the service begins! 

David also serves on the Altar Guild with his wife Beth and is in the discernment process for ordination to the priesthood. St. Thomas' is his home parish. He is a good person to consult about these ministries, too. Click on the link box below to learn more about David.
