This is a sub-committee of the Liturgy Committee. The proper physical environment is an essential part of good liturgy. Those who assist work with the creation of form, color and texture to appeal to the senses and create an atmosphere and mood for our liturgical space. As members of the Altar Care Ministry, we maintain the appearance of the church (including the sacristy, sanctuary, and vestibule), through cleaning, polishing, and upkeep of the sacred space, caring for the linens and vestments, and keeping the church building in order. We use our creative talents for this ministry once a week. "Many hands make light work." If you feel inspired to join our team, please contact the parish office at 972-542-4667 or Margaret Laney at 214-454-7899.
While many liturgical vestments are made of materials that must be dry-cleaned, some are made of natural material and can be machine washed and dried. The albs worn by our altar servers for each liturgy are cared for on a regular basis by these "behind the scenes" ministers. To help out with this ministry, contact Bobby Sheahan at 214-502-7984.
