The manner in which we treat sacred things fosters and expresses our openness to the graces God gives to his Church in every celebration of the Eucharist. Thus, by the diligent care of altar linens, the Church expresses her joy at the inestimable gifts she receives from Christ's altar.

The Altar Linen Ministry is a wonderful ministry in the parish because it maintains the sacred linens used during the celebration of the Mass. Seemingly ordinary and simple, the ministry’s role is vital in the preparation and celebration of the sacred mysteries. It is a prayerful and contemplative act of service for Jesus Christ!

Members are responsible for picking up, washing, ironing, folding, and returning the altar linens on a rotating basis. 

New members are always welcome! Training is provided due to the altar linens’ sacred nature. Please contact the parish office at (732) 329-2893.
