Call John at the office 907-333-5544 if you can help once or twice a year.

On Holy Saturday  there  is always a need to have parishioners who will help decorate  with  the Easter memorial plants and keep them watered during the Easter Season

During Advent  - Coordinating the Christmas Poinsettia memorial plants. This means selling them or gathering a team, to help sell, after each mass for one or possibly two weekends, arranging for pickup from Bells Nursery, placing the memorial or in honor of label on each one.  Helping place them, if you are able and keeping them watered during the Christmas season, then disposing of them. You can gather a team to do any or all of this.

​Hospitality

Receptions

 Councils

Getting involved not only helps our parish,

it is also a wonderful way to get to know other parishioners.

  Ministry is all about relationships

​​​​​​​​​​​​​All Are ​Welcome

​​​Liturgical Ministries

Fellowship:  Making coffee and serving doughnuts~ this can be a family ministry.  You can sign up for every week to serve after the 8:30 a.m. or 10:30 a.m. mass even just once a month, or you can just agree to pick up the doughnuts so they are at the church in time to serve them.

​Greeting  & welcoming people as they enter the church and downstairs, especially looking for those sitting alone.

Hospitality: As a parish dedicated to the mission that “All are welcome” all parishioners are potential volunteers to serve as the Welcoming Committee.
