Chalice Bearers

The Chalice Bearers at the 8:00 and 10:00 a.m. services are small groups of parishioners who have been chosen to support the clergy in this particular way. Clergy and sacristans present a list of names to the bishop who, upon review, licenses these parishioners to become part of the central aspect of Anglican worship - Holy Communion - by distributing the wine to the members of the body of Christ at the eucharist.

It is a great honour to be a chalice bearer because one becomes part of the central aspect of Anglican worship - Holy Communion - as one respectfully gives the cup of salvation to members of the body of Christ.
