Altar Society

The St. Agnes Altar Society is an organization of dedicated parishioners whose primary mission is to maintain the altar, sanctuary, and beautiful parish church. This goal is accomplished in a variety of ways:

• laundering the linens used at Mass

• repairing & replacing linens and altar cloths

• caring for the vessels & candlesticks

• arranging flowers weekly

• cleaning the church monthly

• decorating for the liturgical seasons & feasts

In addition to these works of service, Altar Society members are also frequently involved with providing meals and preparing receptions for special Masses and other parish events. They are truly indispensable!

Consider Getting Involved

Feel free to “come and see” a few times to determine if you would like to join us regularly:

• Monthly Meeting: 3rd Monday of the month at 9:15 am (no meetings in the summer months)

• Monthly Church Cleaning: Friday following the monthly meeting 9:00 am

• Decorating the church for Christmas and Easter as announced

Women and men are both welcome. Inactive Members participate in the ministry with their prayers and dues, as do the Active Members, in addition to the corporal work noted above. Both Active and Inactive Members enjoy the spiritual benefits of the prayers of the Society. Annual dues are $20 for one member and $5 for each additional household family member, and are used for the work of the Society. Donations are also welcome anytime. If you have questions or are interested in taking part in this joyful and vital ministry, please call the Parish Office at 383-4127.
