The Altar Society prepares and maintains the altar and sanctuary so that Masses may be offered in an orderly, reverent manner.
Membership in the Altar Society is open to both men and women, and includes those who are unable to attend meetings regularly, but pay dues and assist in any areas they are able.
The various committees within this ministry include:
Some members volunteer to pray the rosary at the wake of parishioners and their family members when requested.
Money raised through fundraisers and dues is used to purchase linens and the bread and wine used in the liturgy. A cookie bake sale in the spring also helps to defer the costs of cleaning supplies and seasonal adornments. Annual dues are $10.00. If you are unable to join at this time, please consider helping out by making a donation and/or by keeping us in your prayers throughout the year.
All are welcome to join us on the first Monday of each month at 5:00 pm in church to pray the Scriptural Rosary for the Holy Souls in Purgatory. Following, is the 6:00 pm Mass which is offered for all Altar Society members, living and deceased.
If you are interested in joining this ministry or would like more information, please call the Parish Office at 341-9516 or email Arvella Lesnak ([email protected])
