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!

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.
