National Acolyte Festival Bus Trip

Acolytes, vergers, and crucifers of all ages are invited to the National Acolyte Festival at Washington National Cathedral on Saturday, October 11. The Lancaster Convocation has reserved a 40-passenger bus, and your festival registration and lunch are fully covered—a generous gift made possible through Shaped by Faith and our Lancaster Convocation youth grant, applied through participating parishes.

This annual celebration at the Cathedral is a highlight of the year. The bus is almost full—but there are still seats available. Grab your robe, bring your love of Jesus, and come share in a day of worship, service, and fellowship.

• Departure: 5:45 AM (prompt) from St. Thomas Episcopal Church, 301 Saint Thomas Rd, Lancaster, PA 17601
• Return: Before dinner the same day
• Cost: $0 (registration + lunch provided)
• Coordination: The Lancaster Convocation is in close contact with the Cathedral’s worship and box offices—just send your info and we’ll handle the rest.
• RSVP: Please email The Rev. Bradly Mattson at bmattson@hopeepiscopal.org with names of attendees and a mobile number for day-of updates.
