All acolytes, crucifers, and thurifers throughout the Central Gulf Coast are invited to attend. Bishop Russell and other experts in the “liturgical arts” will share their knowledge, skill and wisdom, along with games and a very special closing Eucharist.

​

The festival begins at 8:30 a.m. and will end at the conclusion of the Eucharist around 3:30 p.m. There is no charge for the festival.

​

A block of five rooms has been reserved at Beckwith Camp & Conference Center for the night of August 18 for those traveling distances. To reserve a room at the special rate, please contact Beckwith directly at (251) 928-7844.

​

For more information, please contact The Rev. Eric Zubler at or call the Cathedral office at (251) 438-1822.
