With deep love and reverence for the Holy Eucharist, the Altar Linen Care Ministry cares for the sacred linens on a rotating schedule. Training is provided on how to care for these special linens that contain the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. This ministry is made up of teams of ladies who, behind the scenes in their own homes, reverently launder and care for the purificators and corporals used on the altar at Mass. Members insure that the altar cloths, priest’s albs and the small cloths used during the Mass are clean and ironed. They clean the altars, sanctuary and small tables, including dusting and mending the cloths when necessary. Thus the Altar Care Ministry contributes to the cleanliness and dignity of our Parish worship. The service provided by the Altar Care Ministry is not very difficult and only requires a small amount of time. The skills required are simple: knowledge to iron dust, tidy-up and perhaps mend with a needle and thread. These are talents that many of us have and all YOU need is a willingness to share them with your Church!
