VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
“For just as a body without a spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.” James 2:26
The Parish Pastoral Council is working to create a more welcoming environment within the parish. Also, the parish is in need of more ushers for the weekend Masses, volunteers for hosting Community Sundays, and special occasions such as First Holy Communion and Confirmation. If you would like to volunteer, please fill out this form and return it to the rectory or drop it in the offertory collection at Mass. We ask that you prayerfully consider volunteering your time and talents to the parish.

Help us to be attentive to the needs of one another. Guide us to reach beyond our home in service to others.
