VIDALIA &8212; She doesn&8217;t want publicity.

She won&8217;t give her full name and only reluctantly agrees to have her picture taken.

That&8217;s because getting her name on the front page of the local newspaper isn&8217;t what motivates her to cleaning, laundry and other tasks for her church.

&8220;I do it for the Lord,&8221; she said in wonder, as if there could be no other answer.

Besides, she said while discarding wilted sanctuary poinsettias Sunday afternoon, there are myriad other members who perform such tasks at her place of worship, Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church.

&8220;Oh, you just missed them,&8221; said the woman, who would only be known as &8220;G.R.&8221; &8220;There were so many of them here just a few minutes ago.&8221;

Laundering the priest&8217;s clothing and the cloths used on the tables and altar of the sanctuary and the church&8217;s chapel.

Placing out hymnals and other texts for services.

Tidying up here and there, inside the church as well as out.

Making sure the church doesn&8217;t run low on supplies, and scrubbing the altar.

These and many other tasks, she said, are performed by her and the church&8217;s many other volunteers.

&8220;It&8217;s something I enjoy doing,&8221; she said.

But it&8217;s more than that.

It&8217;s service to the Catholic Church, into which she was baptized as a 5-year-old orphan in Natchez, and to her local church, which she joined in 1983.

G.R. notes that she did lapse out of churchgoing a few times during her adult life before coming back to the Catholic Church.

&8220;I just had the urge to get back,&8221; she said. &8220;It was God&8217;s calling. He put me where he wanted me to be.&8221;
