Altar Society

Saturdays after the 8am Mass
The Altar Society is a group of parishioners who help prepare the worship space for the weekend liturgies. This involves the cleaning of the sanctuary area, Adoration Chapel and preparing the materials that will be used for the weekend liturgies. |

Altar Linen Society
This group of parishioners takes turns cleaning and pressing all the Altar Linens and albs used in the Liturgies. A washing machine, iron and desire to serve the Lord is all that’s required.
