Where do our Altar Flowers come from? Where do they go?
Our altar flowers are more often than not given in honor of an anniversary, birthday, a general thanksgiving or in memory of someone. You can donate to the altar flowers either online at the stcross.org/give or using an envelope in the pews on Sunday. The cost of altar flowers is around $100, but you can donate more to help cover other Sundays, or less to fit your budget. On Mondays the AMAZING flower ladies come and make bouquets that are then distributed to parishioners for a variety of reasons: thank you, get well, thinking of you, special anniversary etc. Which is a reminder that the flower ladies can always use vases. You can leave vases by the sacristy door at any time. If you don't know where that is, just ask a clergy person and we will show you. Yay flowers! (except, of course, in Lent-haha.)
