Altar & Rosary Society

One of the treasures of Saint Mary’s Church is our Altar & Rosary Society.  Their story began in 1895 when women organized themselves to pray and to serve.  Today, on the 1st Sunday of most months, they assemble for 9:00 Mass – praying the Rosary before Mass – and then gather in Hammes Hall for a formal meeting.

​

Members of the Altar & Rosary Society care for the linens and vessels used during the celebration of Mass. 

​

Among their noteworthy efforts is the assistance they provide to help Saint Mary’s support those ministries helping people-in-need at  1) the nearby Saint Clare’s Clinic, and 2) the Women’s Care Centers in the diocese.

​

Women (age 18 and older) who are members of Saint Mary’s may join the Altar & Rosary Society.
