Altar & Rosary has seven (7) circles, St. Anne, St. Bridget, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, St. Gerard, St. Joan of Arc, St. Jude and St. Theresa.  Circles members are the “core” of Altar & Rosary.  Circle membership encourages a more active role in Altar & Rosary.  Circles generally meet on a monthly or quarterly basis depending on the members and leaders of the circle.  Circles monthly duty roster is noted within this handbook.
