Altar Care
We are a group of people interested in helping to care for our liturgical environment at St. Mary church. We work in teams of 3 or 4 for one month, twice a year. We have “polishing parties” twice a year to keep the communion sets clean and shiny. A group meets in the sacristy for this.

Examples of activities or ministry’s work: We work in teams of 3 or 4. Some of us take care of the altar linens, those who like to iron. Others do light housekeeping for the altars, sacristy, and church. We have a group who polish the pews to keep them clean and neat—2x year. CCD helps with this.
