Then I said, “Here am I. Send me!” Isaiah 6:8
In a recent homily, Fr. Thomas said,…”You can expect God to place before you,…(no matter your age or life circumstances), numerous opportunities for you to create positive actions in the lives of others, our parish and our world.” And that you “will do this through…your generous sharing of your time…and your God-given talents and abilities…”
Below are some of those possibilities! If you feel you are being called to help your parish in any way, please contact Mary at .
Lectors: We now have two lectors serving at each Mass. One lector will read the welcome and the first reading. The second lector will process to the sanctuary carrying the lectionary and placing it on the ambo. The second lector will read the second reading and the Prayers of the Faithful. Lectors must be at least 14 years of age. We invite those interested in serving as lectors to contact the Parish Center at 651-224-9793 or Mary at for further information.
Cross Bearer: The entrance procession is now led by a volunteer carrying the Processional Cross. Youth (12 years and older) and adults (male and female) are invited to join this ministry. If you would like to carry the cross at weekend Masses, call the Parish Center. You may also talk to the sacristan at the weekend Masses.
Communion to Homebound: For many years, Sister Anne Becker would take the Eucharist to our parishioners who were unable to attend Mass. This ceased with COVID. We now have volunteers who bring Communion to some residents at Cerenity. We would like to have volunteers who would bring Communion to some of our parishioners, still living in their homes, but unable to attend Mass. If you would be able to minister to these parishioners, please contact Mary at or call the Parish Center.
Thank You: To Rose, Chuck, Anita, Chris W., Kathy, Chris M., Angela and Mary who prepared the parish mailing which was sent out last week.
WE ARE A VOLUNTEER PARISH!
