The
Altar Guild has the
privilege of preparing the altar for any
service held in the church, and assisting the clergy
whenever
necessary. The members are also responsible for
cleaning the
altars, caring for the sacred vessels, and securing the
necessary
articles to be used at any service. As you are called to serve our Lord, and if you possess qualities of tact, composure, tolerance and adaptability, you may find the Altar Guild to be a place where you can serve and grow spiritually. Membership in the Altar Guild is open to men and women of any age. If you are interested in serving on the Altar Guild, make your desire known to Father John.
Deepest thanks to all members of St. David’s Altar Guild, past and present, who serve their Lord faithfully day after day, week after week, year after year.

Altar Guild Prayer
National Altar Guild Prayer
Most gracious Father Who has called me Your child to serve
in the preparation of Your Altar, so that it may be a suitable place
for the offering of Your Body and Blood;
Sanctify my life and consecrate my hands so that I may worthily handle
Those Sacred Gifts which are being offered to You.
As I handle holy things, grant that my whole life may be illuminated
and blessed by You, in whose honor I prepare them,
and grant that the people who shall be blessed by their use,
May find their lives drawn closer to Him Whose Body and Blood
is our hope and our strength, Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN.
