Daughters of Veronica in Eucharistic Stewardship

DOVES April First Saturday Workshop 2011

Altar Candle Base Wax Removal
These plates are the base to the candles on the sides of altar.
Ms. Beth taught us to freeze them for five minutes before scraping off the wax.

We open with a 'Memorare' for our Parish Priests.

Polishing Patens
We apply brass remover, rinse and then polish.
(We have seen the altar sons checking out their reflections in them
and practicing what looks like Morse code on the Church ceiling!)

Service Project
The DOVES are offering a basket for the auction,
taking place in May, to help raise funds to repair the school.
We chose a back yard bird-feeder theme.
Thanks to all the DOVES and sacristans
who participated in donating to this basket,
and especially to Ms. Angelina and Mary Clare for designing it.

Our Angelus Bells went off at noon, thanks to Ms. Sarah's cell phone chime,
so the mothers and daughters were able to close
with this beautiful prayer of the Church.
