Get involved in these areas of service:

Publicity - We advertise parish events in the local media as well as act as a liaison between parish commissions to maintain an "events calendar".  The Pastoral Council also produces a monthly parish newsletter and is routinely looking for assistance in assembling and preparing it for mailing.

Welcoming Registration - this sub-committee contacts new parishioners with a personal welcome and encourages involvement in parish activities. 

Bereavement - this sub-committee hosts funeral receptions and contacts parishioners who have volunteered to provide refreshments. We have committee members present before, during and after the reception.  Parishioners who have recently experienced a personal loss will be approached for follow-up during this painful period.

Seniors - We try to maintain personal contact with our seniors as many of these loyal senior parishioners had the vision to build this parish and may appreciate a visit, telephone call, card, etc.  Volunteers are also free to expand on a newfound relationship with a senior.

Florals - During the growing season, we need volunteers to work to maintain our beautiful gardens and provide floral decorations for the altar.
