Helping During the Coronavirus Outbreak

Volunteers Needed for Special Ministries

We are in need of volunteers to assist with the 3 weekend Public Masses (Saturday 5pm and Sunday 11am and 9am (starting July 12). These temporary Special Ministers include ushers (help with seating, Communion, and dismissal), Greeters (welcome parishioners, provide hand sanitizer before Mass, and distribute bulletins after Mass), and one Eucharistic Minister to assist the Priest with distribution of Holy Communion.  During the course of a weekend, covering 3 Masses, we need 15 Ushers and 9 Greeters, so the more volunteers we have available, the better.  More volunteers ensure that no one volunteer has to work more than a couple of weekends a month.  If you can help with any of these Ministries, please fill out the brief form you will find  HERE.

Corpus Christi food drive Weekend of July 18/19, 2020

There will be a Corpus Christi drive-through food collection beginning at 4pm, before the 5pm Mass on Saturday, July 18, and beginning at 10am on Sunday, July 19 before the 11am Mass.  There will not be a brown bag pick up with a list of items needed the weekend prior to this collection.
