Ministry - Flowers/Linens/Fabrics
This ministry arranges for the floral decorations in the various Chapels for Masses; insures Altar linens are ready for Mass (such as corporals, purificators, etc.); insures that seasonal needs particular to each Liturgical Season are prepared and maintained (such as candles for the Advent Wreath, etc.). In addition, this ministry decorates some items not in the sanctuary, such as the Christmas Tree in the foyer of Woodlawn Chapel, as well as Christmas wreaths in various places. The Altar of Repose is a responsibility of this ministry (prepared for Holy Thursday), as is preparation of the sanctuary for Easter Masses. Finally, the decoration of the sanctuary by banners and other similar materials is the responsibility of this ministry, with the guidance of the pastor/chaplain.
