Volunteer

What Can I Do For Our Parish?

There are many ways to embrace stewardship in our parish in a practical way. Please consider one or more of the following, or perhaps you have an idea for how you can contribute in another way.

Contact the Parish Office for details on how to volunteer in one of the following capacities:

1. Reader: We would like to bolster our list of Proclaimers for the Sunday liturgy at the 5pm Saturday Mass and Sunday Masses.

2. Altar Server: Please inquire with Father is you are interested.

3. Liturgy Assistant: Be a helper for the liturgy committee. Help them prepare months in advance, rather than on the day of such occasions as Easter, Christmas, confirmation, baptisms, reconciliation services, solemnities, our feast day, etc.

4. Music Ministry: Use your talent for music to lead us in song during the Mass, or perhaps just sing the psalm or volunteer to cover for our music leaders when they are away. You could also volunteer to sing or play music at funerals.

5. Gift Bearer: Bring up the gifts during mass on some occasions?

6. Usher at Mass: Ushers welcome folks to Mass and show late comers where there is available seating. They answer questions and tell people where the facilities can be found. They open windows and doors when needed, and place extra chairs out for full Masses. On the rare occasion, they might make an emergency call for an ambulance - ushers have a multitude of helpful things they do.

7. Altar Linens: Could you clean the linens used for mass? A small, quiet way to give.

8. Flower Arrangements: Could you help organize the flower arrangements in the church?

9. Landscaping: We need help cutting the grass in the cemetery, and raking the leaves in the fall.

10. Cemetery Committee: We need help determining the path for the future by establishing policy.

11. Eucharistic Minister: If you are interest in this role, talk to Father about about how you might fit this role.

12. Truck for use: Be "on-call" with your truck to help us move stuff.

13. Children's catechism: Do you have a talent for teaching children?

14. Coffee Hour Host: Could you organize coffee hour regularly (ie. once a month) after one of our masses?

15. Parish Council: Consider joining the parish council and the other subcommittees of the Council.

16. Publicist: Work with our web master to keep our web site up-to-date by gathering information and taking photos of our events.

17. Driver: Help out those who do not have a vehicle to get to Mass.

18. Window Cleaner: The windows in our church and in the welcome centre require regular cleaning.

19. Your talents: What would you like to do for our parish?
