Welcoming Team -- This group welcomes, orients and registers new parishioners monthly; on the 1st Sunday of each month. This orientation provides new members an opportunity to learn what the parish has to offer as well as what gifts they have to offer the parish. This volunteer opportunity lets you share your excitement about our parish and make people feel welcome!

Collection Counters -- By sharing talents of bookkeeping and accuracy, this group counts the financial gifts given in the weekend collections. Commitment is once every other week.  

Family Meals -- Volunteers share in supporting families that need temporary assistance with meals because of health issues or other compelling situations.  Volunteers prepare a meal for an intended family; a staff member then brings the meal to the family.

Funeral Luncheon Ministry -- This group of volunteers comes together as needed to prepare and serve the food for our parish funerals. Training provided.

Church/Cemetery Work Crew -- This volunteer work crew consists of parishioners with a variety of skills.  They come together on Monday mornings and on an “as needed” basis to provide assistance in the maintenance of the parish buildings and grounds. The following skills are requested at various times during the year: carpentry, painting, plastering, masonry, skid loader operator, electrician and grounds maintenance.

Coffee Sunday -- Monthly Sundays following the 8:00 and 9:30 am Masses, parishioners gather to enjoy fellowship with new and old friends while enjoying doughnuts and beverages. Volunteer opportunities exist to help serve on this fellowship ministry.

Community Fall Festival -- The Community Fall Festival, held in August each year, is the largest fund-raising and community building event in the parish and is organized by volunteer parishioners. Everyone can get involved and participate. A few weekends prior to the festival, volunteers are recruited after Masses to work various shifts at the different activities (ex: food servers, game workers, set-up & take down) to assist the volunteer captains who begin their planning months before the event.

Greeter Ministry -- This ministry of greeters at fellowship events is critical to the growth and health of our church.  Our greeters are the face of our parish community, which makes it one of the most important jobs in the church.  Volunteers willing to offer a smile, a warm welcome, or a helping hand are invited to this ministry to make a difference in the lives of others!

Lenten Fish Fry -- Most Fridays during lent, join others for fellowship and a fish meal and/or volunteer to help with food prep and/or serving.

Office Angels/Receptionist -- Receptionists assist the parish staff with short-term general projects.  Greet all visitors, answer phones, and direct calls.  Training will be provided for the various tasks. Volunteer 1/2 day a week or substitute.

Outdoor Plant Care/Landscaping -- Parishioners volunteer their time to help with the planting and watering of annual outdoor flowers along with maintenance of perennials on the parish grounds.
