Do you like quiet background service? Are you orderly and responsible? This ministry primarily launders the altar linens used during liturgy. Linens are usually picked up after 11:30 Mass from the Mass Coordinator and returned by the following Saturday. If you do not attend 11:30 Mass, the linens will be placed in the box outside the door of the Parish Office for you to pick up. You will be laundering purificators, corporals, small terrycloth fingertip towels, white towels used during Baptisms, and dish towels used to dry the chalice and ciborium after cleansing them. Please pick them up after Mass as soon as possible so you can start soaking them.

“The manner in which we treat sacred things fosters and expresses our openness to the graces God gives to his Church in every celebration of the Eucharist. Thus, by the diligent care of altar linens, the Church expresses her joy at the inestimable gifts she receives from Christ’s altar.” -Excerpt from The Catholic Liturgical Library —Bishop’s Committee on the Liturgy — Care and Cleansing of Altar Linens, March 19, 2001.
