Celebrating and Honoring Loved Ones: The Altar Flower Fund

At Saint Mary’s Episcopal Church, the Altar Flower Fund is a beautiful tradition that allows parishioners to honor and celebrate the special people in their lives. Whether it’s a birthday, anniversary, graduation, or the memory of a loved one, donating to the Altar Flower Fund is a meaningful way to recognize those who have touched our hearts.

How It Works

Each week, the altar is adorned with fresh flowers, funded by contributions from the congregation. These flowers not only enhance the beauty of our worship space but also serve as a visible reminder of the love and gratitude we hold for those we honor. Contributions can be made in memory of a loved one or in celebration of a joyful occasion. The names of those being honored are often included in the weekly bulletin, allowing the entire community to share in the celebration.

A Lasting Tradition

The Altar Flower Fund is more than just a way to decorate the church—it’s a way to connect our faith with our daily lives. By dedicating flowers, we create a tangible link between our worship and the people who have shaped our journeys. It’s a tradition that brings comfort, joy, and a sense of continuity to our community.

How to Participate
