As our 2016-2017 faith formation year comes to a close, plans are already underway

for next year’s programs. We are looking for passionate, faithful, and reliable adult

volunteers to help the kids of our parish draw closer to Christ. If you are interested in

mental preparation, please contact us (information on sidebar above). We look for-

ward to meeting you!

“An evangelizing community knows that the Lord has taken the initiative,

he has loved us first and therefore we can move forward, boldly take the

initiative, go out to others, seek those who have fallen away, stand at the

crossroads and welcome the outcast. Such a community has an endless

desire to show mercy, the fruit of its own experience of the power of the

Father’s infinite mercy. Let us try a little harder to take the first step and to

become involved.”

- Pope Francis, The Joy of the Gospel

ministry. However, the only requirement is that all

volunteers must successfully complete the Safe

Environment/VIRTUS Training prior to volunteering.

There is no age limit to volunteer, but you must be at least

a high school graduate. Summer time is the perfect time to

get all your training complete. Please contact Kathy
