Church Beautification

Church Decorating Committee  The Church Decorating Committee needs volunteers to help generate new ideas and plan the beautiful worship environment. Those who have any creative or artistic skills to share (i.e. flower arranging, decoration ideas etc.) or just want to lend a helping hand are encouraged to share their talents. 

Church Decorating Team  It takes a small army of parishioners to transform the church décor for each liturgical season from Advent to Christmas to Ordinary Time to Lent and Easter and back again! There are jobs for volunteers of all ages. Even young children can help to "fluff" the Christmas greens for use in the sanctuary. There are tasks of all types, ranging from flower arrangement to setting up the crèche. On occasion, a seamstress or carpenter may be needed for special projects. Give an hour or give several -- many hands make light work. If you are blessed with a talent you would like to share, please let us know!

Plant Upkeeping  Once our Church is decorated for the seasons, we need to maintain and care for the living plants. Volunteers are needed to water the plants and clean up any fallen leaves or debris. These volunteers are needed two times per week during the Christmas and Easter seasons. During ordinary time, plants need attention once per week.

Altar Linen Laundering  This requires washing and pressing the altar cloths, corporals, and purificators according to the simple proper procedures. It is typically just one small load of laundry. This is a service that is completed at home and includes transporting the linens from and to the sacristy. If you are unable to drive, we could arrange to bring the linens to you. The linens must be washed once per week. The frequency of service is dependent upon the total number of volunteers. 

Altar Robe Laundering  Launder, press, and mend altar robes. This requires laundering and pressing the altar server albs on a rotating basis and mending the albs as needed. This is a service that is completed at home and includes transporting the albs from and to the altar server hallway. Frequency of service is dependent upon the total number of volunteers. This ministry is open to all parishioners who have received the Sacrament of Confirmation.
