As is noted in the words of the Rite, instituted acolytes “have a special role in the Church’s ministry.” The Rite notes the following responsibilities: Assist priests and deacons in carrying out their ministry at the Eucharist; As special ministers, they are to give Holy Communion to the faithful at the liturgy, and to the sick; Because they are specially called to this ministry, they should strive to live more fully by the Lord’s sacrifice and to be molded more perfectly in its likeness; They should seek to understand the deep spiritual meaning of what they do so to offer themselves daily to God as spiritual sacrifices acceptable to Him through Jesus Christ.
Regarding the Ministry of Acolyte, Canon Law also notes that newly instituted acolytes must regularly exercise their ministry from this point forward if they are to be
considered for the possibility of Holy Orders.
