We have 6 blood drives annually. These volunteers assist with the registration, canteen and Red Cross staff.
MISSION
The role of the Marthas is to assure that all of our sacred spaces are clean and well cared for.
REQUIREMENTS
Each member of the Marthas is asked to donate about two hours a month to dust, and sometimes vacuum and clean.
On a periodic basis, we may also bring the group together for special cleaning projects.
Marthas work on teams and receive training.
The actual cleaning can take place whenever the team member is able.
Every Minister of Prayer is committed to spending one hour a month before the Blessed Sacrament praying for the good of the parish, our parishioners and specific prayer requests.

This is a hands on ministry team. The Properties Team will be concerned with the maintenance, upkeep, safety and continuing development of our parish buildings and property. The efforts of this team will involve our maintenance personnel. Special projects will require the recruitment and organization of volunteers or the hiring of contractors. Besides the ongoing work of this group, team members will meet about 8 times during the year for planning. Those who sign up for this ministry are asked to make a one year commitment to it.
THE MINISTRY of R.C.I.A.
All in the Catholic Community are called through our liturgical prayer, our community and our Christian way of life to minister to those who are seeking the Catholic way of life and preparing to receive the Sacraments. The primary minister of R.C.I.A. is the Catholic community, the assembly of the faithful. Other ministers who are involved in facilitating the journeys of the catechumens and candidates are described below.
Sponsor (companion & leader): They help support and care for the catechumens and candidates by sharing their faith and the life of the community with them. They have an ability to listen compassionately and to share the experiences of their own faith life.
Catechist: Whether it is during the period of inquiry or the catechumenate, catechists echo the Gospel. They help guide these men, women and children to experience God's presence and love in their lives and through His Word.
Retreat Facilitator: Those who coordinate and plan the retreats during the process. Catechists and other members of the community participate in the retreats helping to guide the catechumens and candidates through the scripture readings, reflections, prayer, and sharing.
Hospitality: These ministers embrace the candidates and catechumens by welcoming them into the community, serving refreshments and helping them to feel at home.

The Samaritans are a group, who, like the Good Samaritan in the Scriptures, tend to the immediate needs of fellow parishioners. There are four sub-groups:
●transportation ●meals ●household help ●funeral luncheons
When a parishioner is seriously ill or hospitalized, the Samaritans provide short-term help of meals, transportation or other household help. Volunteers provide a dish for funeral lunches and some help serve. (Transportation is provided to those who are unable to drive themselves to Mass, to medical appointments or to shop). We are in need of volunteers, especially those who can help us during the day or weekdays.
