The Mission of the Altar and Rosary Society (A.R.S.)
The objective of the A.R.S., are to foster love for God’s house by laboring for its proper

“We, the members of St. John LaLande Parish, are a growing Catholic community with many
gifts and many needs. As a people of Faith, challenged by Jesus Christ’s Love, our Hope is to
come to know God more fully as we: WORSHIP God in prayer and Eucharist, Live as a
welcoming COMMUNITY, Be of SERVICE to others, Hear and proclaim the MESSAGE of God.”
