Linen Laudering |
Do you have a busy life that makes it difficult to
commit to regular meetings, but have a heart that longs to serve our
Lord? Do you long for alone time with God but find it difficult to sit
still without falling asleep? Maybe this is the ministry for you! All
linens that touch the Precious Blood and/or Body of our Lord in the
Eucharist during Mass must be
laundered on a weekly basis. Special attention is required, as we do
not simply wash any remnants of the Eucharist as we would
any other household laundry. Ironing is also required. If you feel
called to serve our Lord in this way. |

Servers! Boys and girls grades 4 -
12 assist the priests and Extraordinary Ministers during the Mass. |

Bingo
|
If you have been feeling “lost in the crowd” at
Mass and wish you could get to know people outside of the
few minutes before and after Mass each week, Bingo may be just what
you have been looking for! Every week
we open our school gym to the adult public community to play Bingo.
Some volunteers come to help sell Bingo
sheets and other games of chance, and others come to help sell
concessions in the kitchen. It is the perfect
opportunity to serve your parish, participate in the local community,
get to know fellow parishioners, and really
have a fun time! Come join us! |

Eucharistic Adoration
|
Jesus is waiting for you! Literally, every Thursday,
He sits in the Daily Mass Chapel
and WAITS FOR YOU to stop in to see Him. Like any best friend would,
He longs to see you; He longs to hear
from you; He longs to be there for you; He longs for your love and
your attention. And not only does He long
for you, but He needs you to make the effort. At least one person must
be scheduled to be with Him every hour
while the Blessed Sacrament is exposed. Please consider volunteering
for one of these hours. If you feel you
cannot do it, you’re right! But He can! PRAY that He will part your
day and make the time available to you— you
will be amazed at what He can do! |
