Men of St. Rose

We are a parish organization that encourages spirited good will among men by addressing our spiritual and social need for fellowship. Each meeting is centered upon a spiritual topic and the format varies from guest speakers, to prayer service, to open discussions of parish, Church, and social concerns. There is always time set aside for refreshments and camaraderie.
We are not a club that requires membership. All men of the parish 18 years or older are invited to participate in any or all of our activities.

Altar Linens

"Mary therefore took a pound of ointment, genuine nard of great value, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and with her hair wiped his feet dry. And the house was filled with the odor of the ointment." John 12:3
The wonderful people who care for the altar linens are just as near to Jesus when they wash and restore linens used during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
The CORPORAL used by the Priest upon which are laid the chalice and wine cups, the PURIFICATOR used by the Special Ministers of the Eucharist to wipe the rim of the cup after each communicant receives and the TOWELS used by the Altar Servers during the Mass are the linens which are lovingly and carefully washed, ironed and folded time and time again. This is done in the spirit of being a part of the preparation for the coming of Christ. The service is highly invisible but the rewards are magnificent!
At present there are eleven people involved in this ministry....places are always open for new workers.
