Volunteer Opportunities and Parish Needs for the week of 06-06-2021

Published June 3, 2021

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES & PARISH NEEDS

 “Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I. Send me!”  Isaiah 6:8 

COMMUNION TO HOMEBOUND: Do you have family, neighbors, or friends who are unable to attend mass? If you would like to take communion to them in their homes, call the Parish Center or see a Sacristan before mass. If you do not have a pyx one will be provided.

MUSICIANS St Matthews Music Ministry is looking for more singers, cantors, guitarists, keyboardists, string players, wind instrument players. Contact Jill Kilzer Director of music and Liturgy .

STRAWBERRY CLEANING For several years, members of our parish would gather to clean strawberries for the owner of a booth at the State Fair. We would begin the day before the fair opened and our last day would be the Sunday before Labor Day. Some came every day, some just weekends, and others came whenever they could. It was fun and profitable! Last year COVID-19 brought this experience to an end. The governor has stated that there will be a State Fair this summer!! In past years we have earned over $5000 for a few hours of work each day. The more who volunteer the faster the job is completed each day.

If our friends from the Strawberry Booth can re-open this year and you would like to help our parish earn some needed income, please email me at . You may also call the Parish Center and leave your name and phone number or email address with the receptionist or on the answering machine. We need to know approx. how many people may be available to help. If there are not enough volunteer prospects, we will not be able to accept the job! As of now, only 6 people have expressed a willingness to volunteer!

THANK YOU: Well over 120 parishioners attended the in-person mass  Sat. Thank You to Fr. Adrian who through his homily, gives us strength and hope. To Linda who handled the opening announcements. To our Pianist Jill & Cantor Linda. Lectors Jerald & Kathy, Eucharistic Ministers Joanne & Bob.  Ushers Tom, Tim James & Doris. Sacristan Mary and Slide Operator Ginny. Thank you to Alan, who through his talent films our masses, making it possible for many of our parishioners to take part online.

THANK YOU! As Faith Formation takes a break for the summer, we thank  Director Janelle who oversees and plans all the details for the children of our parish during these trying COVID times. To Staff Lauren, Lily, Anthony, Ellen, Dave, Valerie & Kathleen. Also, to the Subs Ava, Valentina, Mary, Tiffany, Catherine, Lisa, Julie & Jenni. Thanks to all for another successful year!

THANK YOU to Kathy who has volunteered to take communion weekly, after the 4:15 pm mass, to the home of a fellow parishioner.

                                                    WE ARE A VOLUNTEER PARISH!!
