The purpose of the Ladies Guild is to bring together all ladies of the parish to experience a greater spiritual life and to devote themselves to spiritual service in their parish and faith community.
The guild is dedicated to the beautification of the sanctuary which includes caring for the priests’ and acolytes’ vestments, the church linens, and the sacred vessels. They are also responsible for the flowers in the church.
General meetings are held monthly on the 2nd Thursday, at 9:30 a.m., in St. Andrew Hall, with the exception of July & December. Guest speakers are featured during the year. Each business meeting is followed with refreshments. Dues are $5.00 annually.
In addition to fulfilling their primary duties, the Ladies’ Guild sponsors the following activities:
* Silver and Gold Weddings Anniversary celebrations for parishioners
* Confirmation dinner for clergy
* Spaghetti Dinner and Raffle
* Days of Reflection
