Hospitality Ministry
Join this team of volunteers who assist with hospitality for parish gatherings -- clergy celebrations, anniversaries, sacramental receptions, parish socials, etc. Assistance includes decorating, offering hospitality, setup and cleanup of buffet table and kitchen cleanup. Volunteer as often as once a month or on occasion. If you are new to the parish, this is a fun way to get involved and meet lots of people.

Funeral Reception Ministry
A true expression of care and condolence, these volunteers provide families who have lost a loved ones with peace of mind knowing the reception is taken care of from setup to cleanup. A typical event involves setting up a coffee station, setting out food and replenishing the buffet table, and kitchen and reception space cleanup. Food is provided by the family -- most use caterers. Being a part of this ministry is a wonderful gift to grieving families. Funerals are typically scheduled mid-day during the week and on Saturdays. Team coordinator and members are needed.

Stephen Ministry is a pastoral program designed to provide Christ-centered, high-quality, and confidential care for those in our parish who are struggling with a difficult time in life. Stephen Ministers meet one-on-one with their care receivers once a week to listen to, support and pray (as requested) with them as they cope with a variety of life-challenging situations, such as: loss of a loved one, chronic or terminal illness, job loss, transition or retirement, separation, divorce or loneliness, or any number of similar life crises If you are interested in seeing whether a Stephen Minister would be a good fit for you, contact the pastor or one of the parish Stephen Leaders listed below. Also contact the Stephen Leaders for more information about the program or the expectations to become a Stephen Minister. Learn more about the Stephen Ministry here.

Sunday Breakfast Crew
This ministry, in place since the mid 1960s, is one of our most beloved, offering an opportunity for fellowship after the 9:30 and 11:15 Masses on Sunday mornings. Volunteers prepare a delicious breakfast at a very reasonable price. There are nine separate crews, each with their own leader and each assigned to a particular Sunday. It is a great way to get to know the parish community, and a great way to become a small working community of friends and family -- a great way to socialize while doing service for our church!
