Altar Guild

 This group of trained parishioners take charge of appointing the altar appropriately for each worship service.  Some of the duties involved are washing and ironing linens, cleaning vestments, polishing silver and brass, filling liquid candles, dusting & cleaning the altar, filling the tabernacle, and the list goes on.  This is truly a ministry of service.

 These lay ministers are chosen by the Priest and are then licensed by the Bishop.  They assist the Rector with serving communion at every service.  They also take communion to any who are homebound or hospitalized.
