Everyone is encouraged to be involved in the life of the parish in whatever way you are able. The parish is always in need of more volunteers. If you are not sure of what is the best way for you to be involved, discuss that with the pastor.
Buildings & Grounds
Dedicated volunteers gather on Wednesday mornings to take care of routine maintenance, repairs and special projects. More volunteers are always needed.

Coffee-And …
We gather every Sunday after the 10:00am Mass, to foster a spirit of community. Volunteers sign up to share the responsibility of preparing coffee, serving the wonderful "pot-luck" dishes and cleaning up. A sign-up sheet is available in the parish hall, so that you can volunteer as your time allows.
Money Counters
To ensure accurate and safe handling of the parish collections trained volunteers count and deposit money immediately after each Mass. We use a rotation system and are always looking for more volunteers.

Wake Ministry
In the days preceding a funeral the parish offers compassionate support in a variety of ways. If members of the grieving family schedules a wake, members of the Wake Ministry are available to visit the funeral home and lead a brief prayer service.
Anyone who wants to be trained for this ministry should contact the parish office.
W.I.C. Volunteers
On the third Thursday of the month, Catholic Charities administers the Women, Infant and Children Program (W.I.C.) at our parish from 9:00am – 2:00pm. Volunteers offer hospitality by serving a light lunch and snacks. Nearby churches take turns providing the food.
