REQUESTING AN ALTAR FLOWER DONATION


Requesting an Altar Flower Donation is a spiritual and supportive way to celebrate, honor, and remember loved ones, both living and deceased.  The cost of weekly flowers is $125.  The colors and type of flowers will be determined by the Church Liturgical Calendar.  In order to have the details of your donation in the bulletin, the online request must be completed a minimum of two weeks before your date of choice.  If a request is received after the two-week minimum, donations are still welcomed but will not be listed in the bulletin.   Thank you for your donation.

We offer two methods of requesting Altar Flower Donations:

Self-Service and Online or Manually with Office Assistance.

 

SELF-SERVICE AND ONLINE

We are now utilizing a self-service and online system that will allow the faithful to see when an Altar Flower Donation is available, to reserve a donation week in real time, and to make offerings online. The efficiency of this system will allow for a much quicker response time to requests. Please review step-by-step instructions below.
