Acolyte & Youth Leadership Festival 2014 

The Acolyte & Youth Leadership Festival (AYLF) registration is now open to 3rd through 12th graders. 

This year's festival will be hosted by St. Pauls, Albany and will be held Saturday and Sunday, August 16 & 17, 2014. The cost is just $40 to attend, which incluces meals, snacks and a t-shirt. Priests will work with youth ministers in putting on this fun event. Participants should bring their own vestments (marked with a church  name or participant's name) and their home church's banner, which will be processed during the Sunday morning Eucharist at St. Paul's. 

During the Acolyte Festival, participants can expect to participate in acolyting and church leadership workshops facilitated by experienced practitioners; to meet other young acolytes and church leaders from across the diocese; to learn about other liturgical practices; to share their own church experience; and to have fun!
