Altar Flowers: A Beautiful Offering

Altar flowers are more than decoration—they’re a symbol of life, beauty, and devotion to God. Placed near the Eucharist, they reflect our desire to offer something beautiful in worship and honor of the sacred.

Their presence often follows the liturgical seasons:

• Easter & Christmas: Abundant and joyful.

• Ordinary Time: Simple and reverent.

• Lent & Advent: Minimal or absent, reflecting a more penitential tone.

Many parishioners donate flowers in memory of loved ones, in thanksgiving, or to mark special occasions—making altar flowers both a personal and communal act of worship.
