Saint Augustin Catholic Parish

A message from the staff at your parish:  In the last few months, we have been working as diligently as we can as a staff to keep things together and have the parish operational and available to the community as best we can, especially in light of th e fact that both Father Pisut and Father Livingstone have not been available to help.  At this critical time as we gradually re-open "in person" Mass, we are in urgen t need of volunteers in 3 primary areas, in order to conduct liturgy in a safe manner.  
 
The three areas where we need the assistance are:
    • Ushers for weekend Mass.  We'll need at least 5 ushers per Mass in order to help the community come in, space properly, receive Communion, and leave the church in a safe manner.  As of this writing, we don't quite have the volunteers we need to cover all 4 Masses this weekend.  Father Vince is planning to preside at all 4 of them.  Now that we're in the Summer season, we'll need a lot of folks to cover things in the weeks to come, since many of us have vacations and trips planned.
    • Cleaning of the church.  We would ideally like to identify some young people that we can train (and pay) to clean the church between Masses, weddings, and funerals.  Our schedule is already starting to get filled up for the weeks and months to come.  If we fail to get the volunteers or paid young folks to come forward, we'll have to spend money to hire a cleaning company.
    • Live Streaming of Mass.  In order to help bring our Mass to as many people as possible, we've invested some money into a camera and PC based live stream and recording system that can allow our parishioners that are homebound to be "present" with us in real time for one of our weekend Masses. We need to have some number of volunteers trained that can operate the system to live stream the Mass each week, and to record other events, such as weddings. I think that this type of role would suit high school or college aged young children that are more tech savvy than some of us older folks! �� The parish could pay younger people on an hourly basis as well, giving them the chance to earn some money during this period.
