No Experience is necessary. You may come in to work anytime between 8:30 am to 3:30 pm, Mondays or Tuesdays, now through May 17.
Thanks, Mrs. StewART

Volunteers are an invaluable group of individuals who provide a sense of community for the many parish and school activities at St. Catharine. It is the expectation of the St. Catharine Advisory Board that each parish family fulfills their obligation to actively support and participate in the parish and school. In addition, it is expected that parents volunteer their time and talent in helping with church and school-sponsored activities and programs. Such involvement is not only necessary for financial stability, but parents can provide a valuable service to the school and to the children by their dedication and support. In order that tuition rates may be kept at a reasonable level, parents are asked to volunteer for a minimum of 50 hours. per family
“Volunteers do not necessarily have the time; they just have the heart” ~Elizabeth Andrew
