About the Altar and Rosary Society
The Altar and Rosary Society is composed of Catholic women from the parish who are dedicated in serving the Church with the up-keep and cleaning of the sanctuary. The society also has fund-raisers throughout the year to provide articles for the sanctuary and Church renovation as needed.
The women of the Altar and Rosary Society assist with the decoration of the sanctuary during the liturgical season and in particular, during Christmas and Easter.
MISSION:
The mission of the Altar and Rosary Society is to encourage members to serve in the ministry of the Church, especially in the dressing and upkeep of the altar as appropriate to the liturgical cycle.
VISION:
The Altar and Rosary Society is a group of parishioners that in the name of God and for the beauty and solemnity of our liturgy maintain the sanctuary of our Church and keep the linens and furniture in perfect shape worthy of the celebration of the Holy Eucharist.
Join Us
The society certainly welcomes women from our parish to join the organization. We have periodic meetings throughout the year. If you have any questions, please call Joyce Sandoval at 753-9418 or 692-0415.
