Special Events

Acolyte Festival: The Diocese will be hosting an Acolyte Festival on August 22, 2026, from 10:00 am – 2:00 pm. The festival will take place at the Cathedral Church of St. Peter in St. Petersburg. The Acolyte Festival is designed to provide an opportunity for both training and relationship building. The event will include a focus on the mechanics of acolyte service. Additionally, there will be workshops surrounding many of the ministries that take place at the altar. It should be a great time of fellowship and learning! The Acolyte Festival is open to all who are currently serving as acolytes, as well as to all who are interested in learning more about what serving as an acolyte entails. If you would like to attend, please contact Sandy Tuller at (727) 515-5017, or by email at [email protected]. Please RSVP by August 14th.
