Our Parish Ministries Need Your Help

A jigsaw puzzle will never be completed if someone withholds a piece. This parish resembles a puzzle missing various pieces. Do you hold one of them? Do you have the gift or talent that we need? There are many unfulfilled slots for parish ministry. Some require occasional participation; others require a more regular involvement.

• Can you sing in the choir or play an instrument?
• Could you serve as an usher?
• What about lectoring after some proper training?
• How about altar serving; as a youth or an adult?
• Can you serve as Minster of the Eucharist at Mass or to the homebound?
