We always welcome volunteers to help with logistics, like picking up pizza. If you're 18 years and over and you're interested in lending a hand, please reach out to our parish office.
Help us spread the word—let your friends know about this fantastic opportunity!
We are asking for volunteers to help with:
- Church Cleaning — Sunday 15th September after Mass.
