Candelabra Followers
Followers are the small metal tops placed on our candelabra candles to help them burn evenly and safely, especially during longer services such as the Good Friday Watch. Your gift helps the altar guild ensure that candlelight remains steady and dignified throughout prayerful moments, without dripping or uneven burning. These followers will also be used during Christmas as part of the window decorations.

Holy Water Font Liners
Holy water font liners help keep the water at the sanctuary entrances clean and easy to care for, allowing worshippers to bless themselves as they enter and leave the church. Your gift supports this simple but meaningful practice, making it possible for the altar guild to refresh the holy water regularly and maintain the fonts with care. By donating liners, you help sustain a quiet ritual that welcomes all into prayer.

Holy Water Vessel
A situla is the vessel that holds holy water, and an aspergillum is the sprinkler used to distribute it during services such as baptisms, feast days, and other occasions of blessing. Together, they allow holy water to be shared reverently and without disruption. Your gift helps provide the proper vessels needed for these important moments in the life of the church.

Silver Cruets
Silver cruets are used to hold the water and wine used during the Mass. They are sturdier and easier to handle than glass cruets, which can be difficult to pour from and are at risk of breaking. Your gift helps provide durable, dignified vessels that support smooth and reverent preparation of the gifts. (Smaller cruet in photo).
