2 PRAYER FOR FIDELITY Teach us Good Lord, to serve Thee as thou deservest To give and not to count the costs, To fight and not to heal the wounds, To toil and not to seek for rest, To labor and not to ask for any reward, Save that of knowing that we do Thy will, Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. 2

3 Prayer for use before work: The Altar Guild Prayer Almighty God, grant, we beseech thee, that we may handle holy things with reverence, and perform our work with such faithfulness and devotion, that it may rise with acceptance before thee and obtain thy blessing through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen Prayer for use after work: O God, bless and accept the work of my hands and all who minister to thee in the care and adornment of thy sanctuary. Bless and hallow those who love the beauty of thy house, that thy holy name may be glorified, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

4 Altar Linens A. Setting up for a service 1. Choose purificators from the front of the zip-lock bag, beginning on the left 2. Choose lavabo towels, corporals and credence table covers from top of pile. 3. When changing a fair linen, choose the one with the earliest laundered date. All of the above helps to control the frequency that each piece of linen is laundered. It will, therefore, last longer. B. Taking down after service 1. If there are no stains on the corporal or credence table covers, fold them carefully and replace them in the proper folders. 2. Remember to remove the credence table cover from the back table. 3. Remove the purificators from the burse and replace them in the zip-lock bag. 4. Place used linens and towels on the rod in the safe closet. 5. When changing the damask hangings, be careful to avoid making a fold on the embroidered symbols. Fold the hangings with the damask side up. 6. If a roll is available, please do roll the damask veil. Care of Silver A. A committee will be notified of their turn to polish the silver by notice on the chairman s card. B. The silver should be polished at least once a quarter and before any special occasion. C. Anytime a committee feels the silver needs attention, they should polish it. D. Each silver piece should be placed in the silver bag marked with its name. The ties should be at the top. E. Use extra caution when placing the flagon in the safe so as not to bend the cross. Dust Cover be sure to remove Candelabra off during Lent 4
