In Thanksgiving for the new translation of the Mass and for the last Saturday in Ordinary Time, when we were able to assist the parish in preparing for the First Sunday in Advent. We helped Father dress the altar and learned of the white altar cloth that covers the purple altar piece, representing the burial cloth of our Lord.
We went on a hunt for the Advent wreath and found it in a storage room below. We had to melt all the wax off the candle tapers and polish the brass of the entire stand. Thanks to the daughters who were able to help in the kitchen with these important works. Also, the purple ribbons were not found acceptable for the altar. One of our new families went directly to the store to replace them, so that they would be in place for Father’s Advent Wreath Blessing at the 5pm Vigil Mass on Saturday night.
Our DOVES families are truly gracious in time and stewardship!
