| EDUCATION: |
| “Parents
are the first educators of their
children.” To assist with
their continual education, religious
education classes, high school
confirmation classes, youth groups
play an important role in this
process. Our Catholic school (Grades
1-8) educates the entire child
in Christian formation. Unbaptized
children and adults, and adults
of other faiths gather in the
Rite of Christian Initiation (RCIA)
to investigate and discern for
their own lives. Adults who are
active Catholics but have not
been confirmed may receive adult
Confirmation. All of these ministries
need your assistance or leadership
as volunteers. |

| |
| LITURGY: |
| Parishioners
with different skills and experience
gather to plan the regular and
special liturgies of the liturgical
year. Parishioners become involved
as Lectors, Musicians, Extraordinary
Ministers of Holy Communion and
Ministers of Hospitality. |
|
| |
| SOCIAL
ACTION & CHARITABLE OUTREACH: |
| It
is here that we put into action
as a parish family, the scriptures
that we read. Reaching out to
the needy is not something just
for Christ, but which we His disciples
also are involved in. Your participation
is vital. Volunteers coordinate
and organize outreach to those
who are homeless at an Interfaith
shelter, provide food to the hungry
through food drives and baskets,
provide health and pharmaceutical
screening through the parish nurses,
outreach to those caught in human
trafficking. |
|
| |
| CONSOLATION
COMMITTEE: |
| Volunteers
reach out to their fellow parishioners
with consolation at times of crisis/loss
and with bereavement at times
of death. Especially at these
times, the parish family surrounds
us with love and support. |
| |
|
| |
| MARRIAGE
& FAMILY LIFE: |
| Volunteers
assist parishioners who are contemplating
receiving the Sacrament of Matrimony.
Volunteers are also needed to
assist parishioners with parenting
and leadership skills to build
Christian families in their ordinary
daily life. |
| |
|
| |
| YOUTH
& YOUNG ADULTS: |
| Volunteers
assist the youth in establishing
their own identities and their
own faith lives. |
| |
|
| |
| ECUMENICAL
& INTERRELIGIOUS: |
| Volunteers
join together with members of
other Christian denominations
bound by virtue of us all worshipping
the same creator, God. |
| |
|
| |
| MULTI-CULTURAL:
|
| Parishioners
join together to provide faith-sharing
and outreach through an appreciation
of a shared culture. The Filipino
American group as well as the
Hispanic Community group gather
for prayer and service. All are
welcome in any of these groups. |
| |
|
| PARISH
ACTIVITIES & EVENTS: |
| Volunteers
lead the annual parish events
resulting in community building,
socializing and support of the
parish (i.e. annual parish picnic,
auction, supper club, wine tasting,
etc.). Many additional volunteers
are also needed to help provide
these times of fun for the wider-parish
family. |
