The Altar Society supports the  everyday needs of the altar and surrounding environment. In addition, the ladies  of the altar society provide time and talent for receptions, funeral meals, and  other events in the parish.

The St. Paul Altar Care Group is in the church every Friday at 9:00 a.m. To prepare the altar for the coming week. This group is responsible for planning the altar decor, implementing the plans by purchasing flowers, fabrics and any other items needed to carry out the decor plan. They also polish brass, change Holy Water, plan for major holidays in the church, and coordinate the Floral Donation Program. Members always work in pairs or more.

Membership
