Daughters of Veronica in Eucharistic Stewardship

First Saturday March 5, 2011

Ms. Beth gave the DOVES a workshop on how to polish the patens.
We discovered the names of the families who donated the patens to the parish, engraved on the bottoms.
Ms. Beth uses 'Twinkle' brass cleaner to remove the tarnish off the patens and a soft jewelers cloth to polish them to a sheen.
We also learned ways to remove wax off the candle stick holders and candle plates.
Putting the brass candle holders in the oven on 300 degrees for 5 minutes, and quickly wiping them off gave them a sparkling sheen.
The candle plates go into the freezer for 5 minutes
and then are chipped with a plastic knife.
The daughters worked very well at assisting in this work.
After our packed lunches and the Angelus at noon,
we were off to a great Saturday with our families.
