The primary duty of Altar Guild members is to ready the table for Eucharist, approximately 550 of which are celebrated at the Cathedral each year. Members prepare the linens, candles and sacred vessels and care for the four altars of the Cathedral. The Altar Guild also prepares for weddings, funerals, and special Diocesan worship services and celebrations, in addition to the regular Sunday and weekday services. New volunteers are trained by experienced Guild members.
Those who particularly appreciate the beauty of the liturgy and desire to serve in a quiet, prayerful way will find a welcome home in the Altar Guild.
