VOLUNTEER

This group is dedicated to the planning and maintenance of our two cemeteries; Calvary Cemetery located west of I-35 and north of Broadway Avenue on 232nd Street and the Church of St. Joseph of Wyoming Cemetery located east of Hwy 61 on 272nd Street.

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.

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

Small group leaders are needed for the 2023-2024 Confirmation program! If you love the Catholic faith and want to share that love with teens, please consider volunteering on Wednesday evenings.

Please call Katie Hall at (651) 982-2223 or email her at khall@stpeterfl.org for more information or to sign up.

The Community Fall Festival, held in September each year, is the largest fundraising and community building event for the parish. The Fall Festival Committee consists of a Festival Chair and Co-Chair along with various captains. The Festival Chair and Co-Chair oversee the planning and advertising of all activities and entertainment for the weekend and coordinate captains to organize each activity. Short-term time commitments are needed, June through September. Captains responsibilities include overseeing their activity for the weekend, planning, assisting with set-up, and training volunteers to assure the activity runs smoothly.

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.

The Finance Council is an advisory body focusing on the allocation of resources to appropriately serve our different ministries. Responsibilities include planning and overseeing the parish budget, advising on revenue and expenditures, and buildings and grounds planning. The council meets monthly.

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

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!

Most Fridays during Lent, join others for fellowship and a fish meal and/or volunteer to help with food prep and/or serving.

These appointed members attend and participate in meetings to represent the views of the parish and act in an advisory capacity to our Pastor. Each member serves as a liaison to other parish committees. Meetings are generally held once a month.

Stewardship is the response of each individual’s call to discipleship at baptism, returning a portion of the time, talent and treasure God gave us. This committee coordinates the stewardship drive and activities to educate parishioners on how they can  share their gifts with our church community.

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!
