About Us

Our meetings are held the first Wednesday after the first Sunday of every month September-May in the Family Life Center. We begin with a potluck dinner and fellowship at 6:00 PM, followed by our business meeting. Our main purpose is to care for the needs of the altar, which includes the communion wine, wafers, linens, vestments for the priests and altar servers, palms and ashes, and other needs as they arise. We also sponsor two scholarship programs, one for a graduating high school senior, and one for women pursuing further education. We support Holy Redeemer Outreach, Heartbeat of Flint, Right to Life, various national and international charities, and other needs of the parish. We hold several events to raise funds for these programs--these include our annual scrapbooking weekend, bake sales, and Christmas cookie walk. We also sponsor several social events to bring together members of our parish and community, including a mini-Lenten retreat, wine tasting, and euchre tournaments co-sponsored with the Knights of Columbus.
