Volunteer Opportunities

|
It takes a “parish village” to raise a Catholic child. Parents, catechists, priests, deacons, volunteers and the parish at large come together under the guidance of the Holy Spirit to enrich our children’s experience of the living God among us. You do not need to have a child in the program to be part of this. The most important thing is a desire to share your faith.
