YEAR-ROUND Parish OPPORTUNITIES

Service Project Leaders In order to provide a more vibrant and productive service program, we are in need of adult volunteers to help coordinate and execute projects.

SEASONAL Parish OPPORTUNITIES 

Blessing Bags for the Homebound (seasonal-- Christmas and Easter) is a ministry for our youth to show their appreciation for our elder and homebound parishioners.  From decorating gift bags and sorting the gifts, to stuffing the bags full of goodies and delivering them to our homebound parishioners, there's a way for all of our candidates to join in the fun and be a part of this treasured ministry!  Previously only open to our Confirmation Year One & Two candidates, this opportunity is now open to all youth in grades 4 & up.
Christmas Blessing Bags, TBD.
Easter Blessing Bags, TBD.
