Parish Groups

Our Altar Society does the behind the scenes work maintaining ceremonial objects and keeping the altar area clean. We launder and press the altar linens and the priest’s albs. We are responsible for procuring items used in liturgical celebrations, including the candles, altar breads and wine. The Altar Society polishes the candle holders, censer, and brass vessels used during the liturgy.

The Altar Society is also responsible for our parish funeral lunches. If a parish family request this, we will provide and serve a simple lunch for those parishioners, family members, and friends, who gather to honor a loved one. 

As a member of Altar Society, parishioners donate a few hours a week for one month out of the year. Dues is $10 per year and covers the cost of all liturgical supplies. All parish households are encouraged to participate.

If you would like to help or have questions, please contact Lucille Guettinger 509-334-2628.

We also help with our parish Lenten Prayer, Bread & Soup and Pentecost in the Park. We work along side the Pullman Knights' of Columbus during the National Lentil Festival in August. We participate in Washington State Catholic Daughters activities, such as the biannual convention.

Catholic social teaching reminds us we are interconnected and that even our social, political, and economic institutions have a deep effect on people's lives. Our Social Justice Ministry works with the rest of the parish to help us see and listen to our brother or sister in need. We do this through education (studying how loving our neighbor plays out in our social institutions), through advocacy (working for the poor and vulnerable in the political arena), and through direct action (organizing food drives, clothing collections, and supporting refugees ).

We usually meet the first or second Thursday of the month. If you would like to join the Social Justice Ministry, watch the bulletin for meeting times or call Tim Paulitz at 509-332-6184 or Francy Bose at 509-332-5114.
