THE FLOWER MINISTRY
Flowers and plants are a gift that not only sustain life but also should be used in worship and praise of the Creator of life.
Flower arranging for our parish is a very interesting and rewarding ministry. You will have the opportunity to not only develop and practice your creative skills but also contribute to the life of the Church. You are welcome to join our ministry even if you have no previous experience in flower arranging. You can learn ‘on the job’ until you feel confident enough to move on to some real arranging. The flower arrangers carry out various roles from arranging vases, pedestals and containers to daily watering and removal of dead flowers.
The flowers we receive are donations from people and funding from the Church. There is a flower box at the main door, where people can deposit their donations.
Where possible, we try to match the flowers with the Liturgical calendar. We have different colours for different feast days, for example:
Pentecost: We make flames with orange flowers.
Easter: White and yellow flowers.
Christmas, Confirmation &
First Communion: White flowers
Palm Sunday: Palms
Advent: Advent wreath
Ordinary Season: Any colour flowers
Lent: No flowers
Flower arrangements for weddings and funerals can be done on request. Please contact us beforehand concerning this service. Currently we do flower arranging on either a Thursday or a Friday morning. Feel free to join us and don’t feel obligated to help every week.
