Lord make me an instrument of peace..   Where there is hatred, let me sow love   Where there is injury, pardon   Where there is discord, unity   Where there is doubt, faith   Where there is dispair, hope

What We Are About

The Altar Society of St. Francis of Assisi is a group of women from the Parish who offer their dedicated service to the Church.  We are involved in the life of the Church in a special way.  Through our efforts, we assist the Pastor in maintaining the Altar, Sanctuary and Sacristy.  This includes cleaning and setting of the Altar for Services, caring for the vestments, Altar cloths, etc.  We also decorate the alter every week and for special occasions; we care for the plants and flowers. In addition, we are called upon throughout the year to help with special activities.

 

What We Offer

Foster harmony and friendshps among its members and assist the Pastor in the needs of St. Francis Parish.

 

Funraisers

Through our fundraisers we are able to purchase some of the needed articles for the church.

Our basic fundraisers are:

We have our Christmas Bazaar in November. This is our one and only fundraiser each year. The Altar Society ladies bake cakes, cookies, pies, etc. and also processed items such as jams, jellies and breads. We have a silent auction, in addition to a raffle. The ladies donate items for the aution and raffle as well as help the day of the bazaar.

Projects and Activities

We participate in the Annual Fall Festival by paticipating in the Cake Walk booth by supplying cakes and our time. Also, a new booth added last year call This 'N That which offers a variety of items of brick and brack, knick knacks, books, small household items and more.

Membership Requirements and Dues

Members must be 18 years and older. Dues is $5 per year for each member. Members get to enjoy our special events such as our Christmas dinner and Sweetheart Banquet.

Meetings are every month on the third (3rd) Thursday at 7:00 P.M. in St. Claire's Hall.
