Communion Minister to the Homebound
Communion Ministers are assigned one parishioner to whom to bring Holy Communion weekly. As with hospital ministers, a new volunteer can be appointed by the Bishop as a Communion minister, but must be a practicing Catholic to receive this honor. Visits are done according to your availability.
Food for the Bereaved
Teams of several volunteers each provide food on a rotating basis when requested for funerals or parishioners upon immediate release from the hospital. Food is brought to the church office and each team will be called several times a year as needed.
Food Pantry Volunteer
As parishioner-donated food is brought to church, these supplies are brought by volunteers to the food panty and sorted. The work is done on weekday mornings and you can volunteer as often as you like.
