Purificators

Posted on by

Each week, the church purificators are laundered and ironed by ladies of the parish.  The women serve and contribute to the Eucharistic celebration in a quiet and humble manner, yet feel blessed and honored serving their parish community. A big thank you to these ladies for their time and talent for the last several months: Bea Pachiano, Maria Pachiano, EmilyPerez-Rodriguez, Karen Eichorst, Melissa Nevarez, Laura Worley, Anita Reyna,Elaine Simko, Grace Simmons, Janie Esparza, Megan Mendez, Marla Cottenoir,Marva Bichsel, Pat Harder, Ann McGinty, Shelby Cargill, Barbara Cantu,  Sheryl Odorizzi just to name a few. 

Purificators  are special linens which pertain to the Eucharist: The purificator (purificatorium or more anciently emunctorium) is a white linen cloth which is used to wipe the chalice after each communicant partakes. It is also used to wipe the chalice and paten after the ablutions which follow Communion.

If you are interested in joining the purificatory team of volunteers during 2019, please call Grace 806-407-0030.  The ladies will tell you that it is a privilege to take on this responsibility.  We need you!
