Episode Synopsis
Lloyd Eikenloff is the longest serving sacristan at St Stephen's Cathedral - the heart of the Archdiocese of Brisbane.
Lloyd was born in 1945, and began serving as an alter boy at the Carmelite monastery at Auchenflower, from the age of 7.
In 1967, while pursuing a career in the public service, Lloyd began serving as sacristan at St Stephen's Cathedral - and he hasn't stopped since.
Upon retiring from the public service, in 1998, Lloyd upped his hours, and commitment, with the Archdiocese.
Lloyd has served with five Archbishops - Duhig, O'Donnell, Rush, Bathersby and Coleridge - and is a familiar face to the many people who regularly visit the Cathedral.
