Volunteer Opportunities and Parish Needs for the week of 10-24-2021

Published October 24, 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 

FAITH FORMATION SUBSTITUTES & HELPERS NEEDED: Public school children grades 1 to 10 have started attending weekly Wednesday evening religion classes at St. Matthew Parish Center. Some classrooms will need  helpers on occasion, and the program also needs substitute teachers and substitute front desk persons a few times during the year. Volunteers complete some steps before classes begin. If you would like more information about these volunteer roles, please contact Faith Formation director Janelle Rohr for details; email or call 651-242-6004. Thank You.

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

FUNERAL MINISTRY: The church of St. Matthew invites you to be a part of a compassionate ministry providing hospitality to grieving families. You are needed to help set up and serve post-funeral luncheons to families and their guests. If you can help, please call either Becky Montgomery 651-292-0521 or Suzanne Clark 612-819-3752.

GREETERS: Now that we have two masses each weekend, St. Matthews seeks additional “Greeters” to extend a warm welcome to those arriving for Mass. Your friendly smile and enthusiasm for the Church of St. Matthew parish are all that’s needed. To help, contact: , or the parish office.

THANK YOU: To the 20+ parishioners & friends who gathered last Sat. to clean inside the church and the outside parish campus. In less than 3 hours the work was complete!  A little over 3 yrs ago a decision was made to become a Volunteer Parish. To keep down expenses volunteers would come forward to do whatever jobs they were able to undertake. The campus-wide cleaning last Sat. was an example of the wisdom of that decision. Not only was a great deal of cleaning accomplished, but also camaraderie was experienced as parishioners gathered to clean and beautify their parish and enjoy the company of each other.

THANK YOU: To Chris who volunteered to be a greeter at the Sat. mass. Some who entered from the Robie St. door commented on how nice it was to be welcomed and offered a song book and a bulletin! We also want to thank Tim & Tom who every Saturday greet those who enter through the front doors.

THANK YOU: To the 122 parishioners who attended the 4:15pm mass last Sat. and the 89 parishioners who attended the 10:15am Sunday mass. Thank You to Fr. Adrian who through his homily, gives us strength and hope as we continue to deal with a pandemic. To Andy who handled the opening announcements for 4:15 mass & Linda at 10:15. To our Pianist Jill Sat. & Sun  and Cantor Andy on Sat. and Linda who was Cantor on Sun.  Phil who played the Irish Whistle and Tony the guitar on Sun.  Lectors Mary on Sat & Joanne on Sun. Eucharistic Ministers  Suzanne, Karen & Tim – Sat; Ginny, Karen & Ellen – Sun. Ushers Tom & Tim on Sat; Ginny & Janelle on Sun. Sacristans Mary – Sat, Ginny &  Joanne – Sun. Thank you to Ginny, Tim, & John who took communion to parishioners unable to attend. Thank you to Alan, who through his talent films our masses, making it possible for many to take part online.

WE ARE A VOLUNTEER PARISH!
