St. Mary’s Altar Guild – This organization of parish women is also devoted to fellowship and service in the parish. One of their primary functions is the purchasing and maintenance of vestments and table coverings. The Altar Guild coordinates the parish nutroll baking, and participates in the food preparation for our annual parish food festival. The members utilize the opportunities provided by these events to share fellowship not only among themselves, but also with all members of our parish community.
