To instill in each member a deep Christian faith through greater personal commitment to Jesus Christ is the goal of the Altar Guild. The Guild is responsible for the needs of the sanctuary, actively participates in the parish community and supports various charities in the community. The Guild schedules monthly meetings September through April and all women of the parish are eligible for membership.
