This ministry is an integral part of the Eucharistic celebration. A group of parishioners care for the linens used at daily and Sunday Masses.
Volunteers ensure that there is always a supply of freshly laundered and ironed liturgical linens. They also repair linens that are in need of special care.
During any given week, the church uses 20 lavabo towels (used during the washing of the Priest's hands), 20 purificators (used to purify the Priest's chalice) and 3 corporals (used on the altar covering the altar cloth), and countless other linens. This does not include change of season, weddings, funerals, and feast days when we have extra masses. Each linen is hand rinsed in the Sacrarium sink before they leave the Church, then taken home, washed, and ironed. This amazing group of volunteers truly work behind the altar and find a way to remove any stains and whiten all these linens (how do they keep them so white!)
