Rosary Altar Society



Rosary BeadsThere have been many changes since the Rosary Altar Society came into being in 1914. Its main purpose was to decorate the altar and maintain the altar linens. Much has changed since 1914, but the one thing that has not changed is our reason for being part of this group: our love and devotion to our Blessed Mother and a desire to belong to an organization devoted to her veneration.

So what do we do now as an organization? First and foremost, we answer when our Parish calls and we are called to do many things. Listed below are the many things we have done in the past year:

  • May and October we led the Rosary after the 12:05 Mass
  • Ash Wednesday we hosted a Fish 'n' Chips dinner
  • Palm Sunday: a bake sale
  • May: we crowned the Blessed Mother and had a baby shower for the Birthright Organization
  • June: celebrate the anniversary of Rosarians for 25 or 50 years
  • October: we sponsored a Family Communion Breakfast at the Fiesta Restaurant
  • November: a bake sale
  • December: our Installation/Christmas Party
  •    and others . . .
  • We do many things for our Parish when we are called. The money we raise through our various activities throughout the year is donated to the Parish. We are always looking for new members. All women of the Parish are invited to join.
