 Altar Boys Being an altar boy in the Orthodox Church is a privilege and provides a young boy with the opportunity to actively participate in the Divine Liturgy on Sundays and holidays, and gain a greater understanding of the Orthodox service during their youth. The altar boys main role is to assist the Clergy during the Divine Liturgy such as, but not limited to, carrying the cross, fans and candles in addition to often times reading the epistle. The altar boys also have the honor of greeting special guests to our church such as Bishops and visiting Clergy when they attend special services at our parish.  This unique opportunity exclusively given to the young men and boys in the Orthodox faith provides special memories and bonds that remain with them for a lifetime as well as a more comprehensive understanding of the Orthodox faith. Fr. Aleksandar Novakovic encourages all boys to participate as altar boys in the parish. If you son does not currently participate as an altar boy and he has an interest in participating, please contact Fr. Aleks for more information. |
