Opportunities to serve

Many Hands. Light Work
A growing parish and school in a growing community means so many opportunities to serve. We need volunteers for daily liturgies and annual events, as mentors for our youth, as catechists and rosary leaders, and more. Whatever your gifts, whatever your availability, we need YOU.

We are updating our ministries listings this fall to be able to share a more comprehensive list of volunteer needs and opportunities. In the meantime, our latest and most urgent needs are listed below; check out our affiliated organizations for opportunities to serve in the broader community.

Use the table below to explore our ministry opportunities. Click the header at the top of any column to sort (A-Z), or click twice to reverse the order (Z-A).
- Lookiing to grow in faith or encounter the Lord in a deeper way? Look for Encounter opportunities in the second column.
- Do you want to volunteer or serve the parish in a new way? Explore the Serve opportunities in the second column.
- Do you need healing? Prayer? Opportunities to study the faith or share your experience? Refine your search with two columns to the right.
- Click the ministry name to access a description of the ministry and contact options. (Work in progress.)
