Parish Service Opportunities
Sunday Morning Hospitality - The Family Life and Spirituality Committee sponsors the Sunday morning hospitality cart (coffee, snacks, info table, etc) on the 2nd Sunday of the month and needs your help! Please consider giving back to our parish by having your family serve one of the 2 hour shifts on an upcoming 2nd Sunday of the month!


If the 2nd Sunday doesn't work for you, but you'd still like to help, please email Debbie to sign up for another day.

Tuesday Evenings - Parents' Space - On Tuesday evenings, the Ministry Center is open for parents to hang out while their children are in class. In an attempt to build more community and share the responsibility of having this space available, we'll be assigning different grades different nights. All are welcome every night, but on the specific grade nights you'll be sure to meet other parents with children in your child's class.
