Altar Care Ministries

Altar Linens

Purpose

Reflect the sanctity of the sacraments by presenting a clean and beautifully decorated altar.

Activities

Dust the altar and areas in the main body of the Church; clean door windows, brass door plates, door handles, candle chimneys, and brass holders; replace holy water in fonts and refill the large holy water font.

Care of all linens used on the altar and tabernacle, including cleaning, occasional washing, ironing, folding, and storage.

Time Commitment

One to two hours every six weeks. Volunteers can work in teams of two or three. Great opportunity for families!

Small Linens

This ministry involves the proper soaking, washing, ironing and folding of all small linens used on the altar – purificators, corporals and small towels.

• Time Commitment: Flexible hours to pick up linens any time after the Sunday Masses and return them before the Saturday morning Mass. Approximately three hours once a month
• Training provided
