The Martha Ministry is a service-based ministry whose mission is to make Saint Aedan’s as clean and neat a spiritual home as possible by routine cleaning and performing special projects upon request.
Our ministry began in December, 2018. We dust; straighten missals; remove candle wax from carpets; clean/repair the red votive candles; water church flowers; wash altar glassware; clean and replace water in the holy water fonts; replace candle refills, dismantle the Christmas and Easter displays; iron altar linens and Holy Week statue covers; clean the Sacristy fridge, counters, floor and incense holder and hydrate the piano. Most of these tasks are on an ongoing basis.
Participation in this ministry is open to both men and women. We meet on an as-needed basis at the11 Reld meeting room. Members select their cleaning tasks and have the flexibility to do them on their own schedule. Some projects, such as the Christmas or Easter displays, are group efforts.
We are especially grateful for all of the many hours of ministry to our Church during Lent and especially in preparation for Holy Week, Easter and beyond.
