The Altar Guild of Our Lady of Sorrows Church is
comprised of several dedicated and hard-working women of our parish. Our
organization is about fellowship, commitment, sharing and, at times, some hard
work.Our primary responsibility is the cleaning and
maintaining of our beautiful Altar. (Somewhere along the way, the cleaning of
the body of the Church was added to our duties). Cleaning teams sign up to
handle this work. Everyone pitches in to vacuum, dust, straighten and replenish
candles and holy water fonts, etc. to help make our Altar and Church shine again
for another week.
In addition to this, the Altar Guild has numerous other
functions and Committees such as: Weddings, Making and selling of Ravioli, Altar
Linens, Flowers, Candles for the Altar, Cards to the Sick, etc. and also
Eaglefest. During Eaglefest the Altar Guild "man's" the cafeteria serving our
delicious ravioli meals along with other menu items for the lunch and dinner
crowds as well as many take-out orders. The money raised from our ravioli sales
has purchased carpet for the Church, sponsored scholarships at Our Lady of
Sorrows' School, funded many projects and helped achieve many other worthwhile
projects for our Church and School.
The Altar Guild meets the first Saturday of every month
(excluding July) at 9:00 am. We usually attend the 8:15 am Mass to share in the
Word and Eucharist before beginning the meeting (which is usually held in the
School Cafeteria).
The Altar Guild is open to all women of our
parish, both young and old alike. We welcome each and every one of you.
Please call the Parish office for contact information.
