Can you assist?
We always welcome volunteers to help with logistics, like picking up pizza. If you're 18 years and over and you're interested in lending a hand, please reach out to our parish office.
Help us spread the word—let your friends know about this fantastic opportunity!
We are asking for volunteers to help with:
- Flower decorating in the church.
- Offertory — bring up the gifts during Mass. This ministry can be done as a group or as a family.
- Welcomers — Do you have a smile and like to say hello to people, then this ministry is for you. Greeting people at the front of the church before Mass, and giving them a Bulletin and a hymn book is an important ministry and leaves a lasting impression on our community.
Interested? Please contact the Parish Office
Cushions for the pews are available in a tub at the back of the Church. Please return them after use.
