Members of the parish assist in the preparation of the garments and linens used for weekly and Sunday Mass at both churches.

At Annunciation Church, the Altar Rosary Society launders altar linens on a rotating basis. This group also has responsibility for decorating both churches for major holidays such as Easter and Christmas (with the help of the Men’s Club.)

At Our Lady of Fatima Church, members of the Sacristan Committee take turns picking up the altar cloths, corporals and linens that have been used during the Masses that week. They are then washed according to a special procedure and ironed and returned the following weekend. A schedule is sent out monthly.

The Altar Server Vestment Committee launders and irons the altar server vestments at Our Lady of Fatima Church on a rotating basis according to a monthly schedule.
