Are YOU the missing piece to our Faith Formation Puzzle? If you have a love of our Catholic faith, a love of children and a desire to share that faith, we are looking for YOU! There are still openings for this amazing volunteer opportunity to teach and share our faith.  We will be exploring an exciting and inclusive new curriculum!  If you are interested, give us a call.  Training provided.

Funeral Luncheon
This committee arranges the luncheons for funerals held at St. Mary's. Volunteers setup, serve and cleanup after the luncheons. If you have time to help with setup, serving and cleanup, this ministry provides much comfort for family members and friends. To sign up to help in the kitchen click here.

Kitchen
The parish kitchen is used heavily and is in constant need of cleaning and straightening.  We maintain a list of people who are willing to launder the kitchen towels as well as those who are willing to clean the kitchen.  Contact Bette in the Volunteer Office, if you are interested in helping with this ministry.  [email protected]

Maintenance
Parishioners are invited to help with both indoor and outdoor projects at an Annual Spring Work Day, usually held on a Saturday in May. Regular volunteers are welcome throughout the year to help with ongoing projects: dusting the church, maintaining flower gardens in the summer, fall garden cleanup, washing windows, trimming bushes, etc. The parish maintains a list of people who are willing to be called to help with other occasional projects.

Parish Office
The parish office occasionally needs computer assistance or website assistance. 

Annual Blood Drive
We will hold at least two joint Blood Drives at St. Mary’s with Oak Knoll Lutheran Church this year.  The first will be in the Fall of 2022.  Please watch for the sign up at the weekend liturgies prior to the date.
