Volunteer Opportunities and Parish Needs for the week of 11-12-2023

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

SNOWBLOWING: Looking for volunteer(s) to clean snow off sidewalks of the square block of church property. This would be Hall Avenue, Winifred Street, Humboldt Avenue, Robie Street as well as walks leading up to buildings. Parish snowblower is available for use. If interested, please call the parish office at 651-224-9793.

MONEY COUNTERS NEEDED: We are looking for a volunteer to join the collection money counters. You would count the weekend collections after the Sunday 10:15 AM Mass, twice each month. Training will be provided. If you are interested in this volunteer opportunity, call the parish office at 651-224-9793.

LIBRARY MINISTRY: We are in the process of organizing a parish library. This library will be in the SE corner of the main church. We already have a large number of books that are being cataloged and prepared to go onto the shelves that are being donated. We are looking for volunteers who are willing to help people select books to read, check books in and out and keep the shelves neat. This ministry would take place before and after weekend Masses. If you enjoy books and would like to help others who also like to read, please contact the parish office for more information.

THANK YOU: To the 25+ liturgical ministers who attended the liturgy workshop last Saturday. Thank you to Moya from Christ the King parish who was the keynote speaker. To Cristina who organized the workshop. To Phil, who procured the breakfast for those attending. To Karen, Becky and Mary who set up and cleaned up for the workshop. Procedures for lector and Eucharistic ministers were handed out at the meeting. If you did not receive a copy by email, there will be copies in the sacristy.

THANK YOU: To confirmation candidate Simon who has volunteered to be a lector at Mass. We also thank his mother Jessi who has also volunteered to be a lector.

THANK YOU: To confirmation candidate Litzy who has volunteered to serve as a Eucharistic minister. She will begin her service in the spring after confirmation.

THANK YOU: To Tim and Al who cleaned all the leaves and trash away from the Winifred Street entrance to the school.

We are a Volunteer Parish!
