Scripture

Work at your tasks in due season, and in his own time God will give you your reward. (Sirach 51:30)

Mission Statement

The mission of the St. Martha's Guild is to insure that the church is properly prepared for the weekend liturgies.

Ministry Description

Through scheduling, each Church Keeping volunteer would serve one Thursday per month, for about an hour, working in a group of 3-4 volunteers. Also through scheduling, each Altar Linen member would serve to clean linens about 4 times per year. The number of available volunteers will determine the rotations. Help is available when needed.

Activities

• Change out altar candles as needed and clean candle followers and holders.
• Clean and refill Holy Water fonts throughout the church.
• Prepare the Purificators in bags for the weekend Masses.

• Pick up linens from the Sacristy early in the week.
• Wash and dry linens (use stain remover as needed).
• Iron and properly fold linens.
• Return linens to the Sacristy as soon as possible before the end of the week.

Events
