The Altar Society cares for the altar, sacristy and sanctuary. Their purpose is to help maintain the liturgical needs of our daily worship, to beautify our worship area, and to grow in the community and common service. They have been involved with Our Lady of Prompt Succor Parish since it was established in 1919.
Some of their duties and responsibilities, to name a few, include the purchase of altar supplies, including hosts, wine, candles, linens, priests’ vestments and altar server cassocks and surplices. They decorate the Sanctuary prior to Masses and holidays, make the bibs handed out at all Baptisms, clean the holy water fonts, along with anything else that needs to be done. Many of the Altar Society members provide individual assistance which includes the washing, ironing, folding, repair and maintenance of the linens and vestments of the priests and servers. They raise funds by working the bingo concession on Wednesday mornings and selling raffle tickets.
The Altar Society ladies pray as a group at their monthly meetings to further spiritual growth in the Church and community and support church families in their time of sorrow. Meetings are scheduled on the first Tuesday of each month, with the exception of July and August, at 9:30 AM in the Conference Room. In lieu of meetings in June and December, they enjoy a “dutch treat” luncheon.
