Altar Society: Volunteers who care for altar linens & vestments and clean the sanctuary, sacristy and church vestibules. They
might also assist with flower arranging.
Music: Singers are cordially invited to join our choir. We do not require tryouts and solo singing is always optional. Singing in
the choir is a unique opportunity to participate in the Mass in a way many of us have found to be very fulfilling, spiritually. It is
often said that, "Singing at Mass is like praying twice." Choir practice is every Thursday at 6:00 pm in the church. For more
