The Altar Society’s main objectives are to cherish and promote devotion to the Most Blessed Sacrament and to supply the necessities of the altar and sanctuary.

Altar Society members are asked to consider participation in the Flower and/or Church Preparation committees. In addition, many parish activities are overseen by committees of the Altar Society, including CEF enrollments, funeral lunches, Second Chance Emporium, and sick and homebound visitations. All parishioners, regardless of membership in the Altar Society, are invited to participate in these activities. With a call to any of the officers listed below, you can be directed to someone who can give you more information about becoming actively involved in any of these projects, or becoming a member.  

Membership dues are $5.  These can be paid at a meeting or put in the collection basket at Mass.  If you put it in the collection basket at Mass, please be sure to address the envelope to the Altar Society and specify that these are "Altar Society Dues."
