We welcome you to our worshiping community. As we are sure you realize, Our Lady of Sorrows Church is a sacred space for our faith community. The purpose of church decoration is to enhance the celebration, not to take away from it. The natural beauty of the church is easily recognized. In an effort to maintain the beauty of the church, we have established certain rules that we ask you to follow.

• Pew bows should be attached to the pew with a plastic clip, ribbon or coated wire. Never use tape of any kind
• Decorations to doors or walls must be discussed with the priest. No tape or nails are to be used.
• Decorations to the railings outside must be secured not with tape but with a coated wire, ribbon or plastic clip.
• During the special liturgical seasons a greater effort is made to decorate the sanctuary. At no time are these to be disturbed. Flowers being brought in for a special occasion are to be placed on the stands provided by the church.
• Our Lady of Sorrows is a busy parish with many liturgical events taking place in a given day. We ask that you call to check what time you can set up for the event.

We hope that these few guidelines will be helpful. They are not meant to make your life more difficult but to establish parameters which are helpful to all concerned.
