Gratitude Ministry

As a parish, there are many people for whom we are thankful. This ministry gives us the opportunity to express our appreciation to these groups and individuals. This is accomplished through the “Gratitude Corner” in the bulletin, personal notes of appreciation and various other ways.

Sanctuary Society

Sanctuary Society, which includes all women of the parish, is financially responsible for all items relating to the sanctuary: altar breads, wine, candles, flowers, and vestments for the clergy, etc. Monies are raised through various events as well as through annual dues and donations. Sanctuary Society is always looking for volunteers to help with their fundraisers as well as serve on the operating board.
