Altar Society – Saint Ann Catholic Church
The Altar Society is a dedicated group of parish volunteers who support the spiritual, liturgical, and community life of Saint Anne Catholic Church. Through caring for the altar and preparing the church for worship, they help maintain a prayerful and reverent atmosphere for the celebration of the Mass.
Their service extends beyond the sanctuary as they organize funeral receptions, provide meals for families in need, coordinate fellowship events such as soup suppers and first and Second Sunday Breakfast, and support parish outreach through the Home Companions Ministry and the parish prayer chain. Through fundraising activities and practical assistance with parish needs, the Altar Society strengthens unity and fosters a spirit of faith, service, and community.

They may also need a ride to church or an appointment occasionally. Information about anyone who may need this type of support.
