The Altar Society is a women’s organization committed to the needs of the parish, to Christian fellowship, and to the spiritual and corporal works of mercy.
The Altar Society is one of our largest ministries and is open to all women of the parish. The group generally meets the first Monday of each month September through May (excluding November and January) at 6:00pm in the Parish Hall. All women of the parish are encouraged to attend the monthly meetings as their schedules allow. Some activities the group organizes are the annual Bazaar, funeral dinners, and wedding receptions.
