Many people at St. Joseph the Worker endeavor to make our church warm, inviting, and reflective of the Gospel message. The Altar Guild's main purpose is to promote this by caring for the sanctuary and narthex, maintaining plants, flowers, candles and the altar. The altar is one of the most important parts of any church service. We strive to maintain and decorate according to the season and celebration. We devote time and creative energy to making our sanctuary pleasing and liturgically appropriate.
Serving meals for funerals is another way we can reach out to those in our community when they need support. The Altar Guild ministers to families who are grieving a loss by organizing and serving light meals which the family provides at receptions following funerals or memorial services. The Guild supplies desserts, if desired .
