Our Altar Guild invites us to participate in preparing the Church's Sanctuary for Easter Sunday. We will meet at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, April 19, to clean and polish crosses, candle holders, other vessels and decorations. Everyone is invited to bring white lilies or any other white flowers to appropriately decorate the altar, the Paschal candle, and the baptismal font. However, the most important thing is to be in communion, dedicating time to our God, our Church, and our Family of Faith. Thank you.
