How do I join Altar & Rosary?

All women of the Parish are members of Altar & Rosary.  There are various committees within the members that focus on specific areas.  They are as follows:

• Holiday Hop

• Funeral Luncheons

• Youth Outreach

• Nursing Homes & Homebound Outreach

• Welcome Committee

How much of a time committment will it be?

Our members show up for the activities that interest them and generally love to lend a hand when needed.  Some volunteer to lead or be a member of one of the committees that help our organization complete the many tasks and events that we sponsor.  There is no formal time commitment.  All help is welcomed whenever it is offered.
