Volunteer Opportunities and Parish Needs for the week of 1-1-2023

Then I said, “Here am I. Send me!”  Isaiah 6:8 

MASS RESPONSE MINISTRY: St. Matt’s needs someone to read the Mass responses and prayers into a microphone for pre-recorded Masses. You would say the prayers and responses you always say, but into a microphone to share with online Mass participants. 

Online viewers do not hear the assembly’s responses and prayers unless they are spoken into a microphone for recording. Your assistance will help our online viewers to participate more completely in the Masses. 

Several Mass Response Ministers are needed.  If interested, please contact the parish office, or .

FUNERAL MINISTRY: We are looking for three to four volunteers to form a second team of Funeral Ministers. Some of the duties are: open church to meet the funeral directors when they arrive on the day of the service; offer hospitality to families and guests; be sure that everything needed for funeral service is in proper place; help the readers and gift bearers to feel comfortable in their roles; and see to it that the church is returned to normal set-up after the funeral. Training will be provided. If you are interested in serving in this important ministry, contact Mary Leibl or the parish office.

MONEY COUNTER: We need a volunteer to help count the collection on the last two Sundays of each month. You would work on a team of four volunteers. If you are interested, please call the parish office or email Mary Leibl.

THANK YOU: To Fr. Steve, Phil, Angela, All Liturgical Ministers, Jill, Musicians, Cantors, Vocalists, Sacristans, Ushers, Greeters,  Maintenance Staff, Decorators, and All who attended the Christmas Eve & Christmas Day masses. Your presence & devotion brought the Christmas Spirit to all who were present and to those watching from home!

THANK YOU: To the Ahern Family, parishioners and owners of Evergreen Industries, who donated the large wreaths and greenery for the Christmas decorations.

Mary Leibl
Volunteer Coordinator
