Mission Statement and Purpose
We, the Members of the Altar Society of St. Philip Parish will proclaim the Good News of the Gospels through loving service to God and all of His people, especially through our care of the Church Sanctuary.
Members of the Altar Society will help with maintaining the items used for Church Liturgy. The Altar Society will work together to keep the Church clean, purchase new items when needed, and pay for Altar Bread and Wine as long as funds permit.
Membership and FundraisersMembership: Fundraisers: | Additional InformationThe Altar Society is comprised of 20 - 25 active members. Our ministry is to care for the Altar. Money raised from our Annual Christmas Raffle, pays for purchasing new vestments, supplies for the servers, communion host and wine used at Mass. On special occasions we help pay for the flowers and greenery used in the sanctuary with the Memorial Ribbons money which is collected before Christmas each year. For Thanksgiving we decorate the sanctuary with items donated by the Parishioners. Communion Sunday is the first Sunday in October at the 9:00am Mass. We also clean Church in the Spring with the help of many other Parishioners. |
