Chalicists

This ministry involves the administration of communion by lay persons as part of the Holy Eucharist. Words of administration are said when administering the chalice to communicants.

The exercise of this ministry requires training and a license from the bishop which may be granted for up to three years. The proper vestment is a cassock with surplice.

As a part of this service a person may carry the Gospel Book in procession, for the actual reading, and the recessional. There may be other occasions in which this person may perform acolyte duties and further participate in other types of services.

Chalicists serve at the discretion of the Rector.
