St Stephen's Altar & Rosary
The Altar & Rosary Society, women and men of the Parish, working under the protection and guidance of Mary, our Blessed Mother, will strive to promote devotion, love and dedication through prayer, reflection and service including care of the altar. We reach out to the parish women and men every second Tuesday of the month by inviting them to join us in recitation of the Rosary, refreshments and fellowship; while encouraging them to become members of the Society.
Altar & Rosary is a major organization in our parish. Its activities far exceed the original mission (to take care of the Altar and promote the Rosary). They promote and bring about our major social events and parish fundraisers such as the Strawberry Festival, Community Garage Sale, Parish Picnic, Advent Evening of Reflection etc. . .
