Service

We put our faith into action! Just as members of a family come together to help one of their own, we serve those who are hurting or in need, both within our parish family and in the larger community.

To get involved in a ministry, contact the Ministry Leader listed. If there is no ministry leader listed you can contact the parish office.

In this ministry, parishioners help with ongoing projects in the front office such as bulk mailings, data entry, copying and collating, placing phone calls, and preparing bulletins and newsletters.

The parish library is located right off of the gathering space in the church. There are many great Catholic resources from Papal Encyclicals to works from the most recent Catholic authors. They are all available to peruse and borrow. Those that help with this ministry keep the library items shelved and organized.

Our parishioners generously contribute their financial resources to the operations and mission of our parish. Detail-oriented people are needed to count the offering collected during weekend Masses and prepare the deposit for the bank.

The Church Flower Committee decorates the church to enhance each liturgical season. Members of the flower committee plan the decorations for the season, order flowers and come together to put everything in place.

The Flower Bed Care / Gardening Ministry includes the upkeep of the gardens and trees that surround the parish buildings, cemetery and property boundaries. If you have a love for gardening this ministry could use you to help spread joy through stewarding creation.

It takes many hands to keep our church looking clean! The parishioners who clean the church are on a weekly rotation, approximately twice a year. There is an established routine to follow that includes cleaning, dusting, mopping, and straightening the church to an acceptable condition.

Parishioners with a particular set of skills may be called upon to help complete various projects at the parish. These skills might include experience in carpentry, electrical, plumbing, or painting.

Those who are unable to get out into the community miss the relationship and conversation of spending time with others. This ministry connects parishioners who wish to provide support and companionship through visits to those who are homebound or those in our community nursing homes.

This ministry exists to proclaim the dignity of human life - created in the Image of God - as the basis for the fundamental human right to life. The focus is four parts; education on the sanctity of human life, pastoral care for vulnerable persons, public policy advocacy, and prayer & worship.

Ministry Leader: This ministry is in need of a leader!
