Vergers

The verger leads the processional and recessional, directly ahead of the crucifer and/or thurifer. Some of the verger’s duties include:

– assisting the handicapped to and from the Communion rail

– directing clergy to serve Communion to the handicapped in the pew when needed

– offering assistance to parents with young children

– conveying messages or instructions from the clergy to another individual such as the organist, choir director, usher, or AV room attendant

– directing the congregation into the nave prior to the service

With the help of the verger, the service should run smoothly, so that the clergy and congregation can concentrate on the liturgy and prayers.

At present all verger positions are full; however, if you are interested in becoming a verger, please contact Fred Stickle.
