Prayerfully consider volunteering for the following opportunities to serve our parish: • Lectors (read at Mass) • Sacristans (set up before/clean up after Mass) • Altar servers (assist the priest during Mass) • Catechists (teach the faith to our children on Sundays during the school year) • Leader for the Women’s Fall Bible study in the evening or possibly a weekday morning None of the above positions require experience.
