The Patroness of the Ladies Altar
Society is the Blessed Virgin Mary under
the title of her Presentation in the
Temple. The Ladies are strictly devoted to the Blessed Mother.  Each
month, one of the Ladies takes a statue
of the Blessed Mother home to pray for
their intentions and the intentions of the
Ladies.
 
Dues are only $5.00 a year and are not
mandatory.  Most of the funds come
from two bake sales that are held at
Valentines and Halloween. All funds are
used for parish needs.
 
All women of the parish are considered
a member of the Ladies Altar Society. 
We invite you to become actively
involved in the Ladies Altar Society and
its mission.  

We need you!
