Altar and Pew Cleaning

Coordinator: Mary Ann Baradi
Contact: altarcleaning@stlouise.org

The Altar Cleaners assist in maintaining a prayerful worship space.  The Altar Cleaning group are volunteers who do light cleaning of the altar and other areas inside the church. The cleaning is done each week and includes dusting, sweeping, vacuuming around the altar; cleaning and refilling the holy water fonts, dusting the Reconciliation rooms, and tidying the entrance area. A work checklist is posted in the sacristy.

How to Serve

You will be trained by existing group members, and all supplies are provided.

The group is divided into teams of three or four, and each team does the cleaning approximately once every three months. Each cleaning only takes 45 minutes to an hour. Schedules are mailed out to all team members.

Teams meet to do the cleaning on Friday or Saturday morning after Mass – exactly when depends on the schedule of events in the church, so it helps if your schedule is flexible.

All parishioners and school parents are welcome to join the Altar Cleaning ministry. To find out more, contact altarcleaning@stlouise.org, or leave your name and contact information at the Parish Office with Katie O'Neill katie@stlouise.org.
