Altar Rosary Society
The mission of the Altar Rosary Society is to enhance the spiritual and social life of its members, both MEN and WOMEN. St. Mary's Altar Rosary Society has been inexistence for over 90 years. The society consists of men and women who are members of St. Mary Cathedral parish. Activities include Sunday Coffee & Donuts, Lenten Soup Suppers, Lenten Fish Fry Pie Sales, Memorial Day and Labor Day Weekend Pie Sales, among many others. Funds raised through these activities are used to purchase liturgical items for the Cathedral, care and upkeep of the Rectory, and other worthy opportunities for support throughout our Christian community.
Over the years, the society has been able to purchase or donate many needed items for the parish and school, some of which include:
- Large crucifix, currently located in the Chapel
