Mission statement The mission of St. Peter of the Fields Altar and Rosary Society is to provide for the adornment of the sanctuary and to promote a greater devotion to the praise and honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary through prayer, good works, and devotion to the rosary. The Altar Rosary Society strives to be a means by which Catholic women can experience a supportive community who help each other to grow in their relationship with Christ.
All women from our pastorate are considered members of The Altar and Rosary Society.
Meetings are held every month except June, August and January. Meetings are held on the second Monday of the month alternately at 12:00 noon during the winter months and 6:00 pm the remainder of the year in the church hall at St. Peter of the Fields.
Some of the many roles and activities we carry out as members are to:
*contribute to the care of the altar that may include purchase or replacement of linens or other needed items. *share in the protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary by praying and promoting the recitation of the rosary *maintain the kitchen of the church *prepare and serve funeral luncheons when needed *raise funds through social activities like the fall bazaar *cooperate with and carry out the wishes of our pastor *request a mass to be offered once each month for living and deceased members
