MINISTRIES: PARISH LIFE

The fundraising committee considers ways to meet the increasing financial needs of the parish. The objective is to acquire needed revenue while at the same time contributing to the social aspect of our parish community. Volunteers are responsible for organizing events and setting up subcommittees to facilitate the success of the events. Meetings are scheduled as needed. We welcome energetic, creative men and women with an interest in organizing and implementing fundraising activities and events.

FUNDRAISING COMMITTEE
LITURGICAL DECORATING COMMITTEE

We usually use the word “decorations” to mean balloons and streamers and other colorful materials that create a mood of festivity at celebration.. Liturgical decorations are used to foster a mood sometimes of festivity and at other times of penitence or anticipation, but always of dignity and hospitality. Seasonal decorations help set the mood for liturgy. We welcome anyone who is interested in decorating our beautiful church, making it fit for worship during the church seasons. Volunteers are needed to assemble decorations before the holiday season and to help hang the prepared decorations. Any amount of time you have is welcome.

The Parish Council is a consultative body which assists the pastor and serves as a planning board for the parish.   A total of fifteen active, registered parishioners serve: ex officio members; elected members (for two year terms); appointed members (for a one year term).   Nominations are requested from all members of the parish April.   Elections and appointments are in May.   The council meets monthly from September through June.

The Stewardship Committee looks at ways we can all incorporate “Stewardship As A Way of Life” into our already busy and demanding schedules.   The committee focuses on distributing information that will enable all of us to share our time, talent and treasure as disciples of the Lord as we support and nurture each other on our faith journey.   Meetings are held monthly from September through June.   We welcome members of our parish who are interested in facilitating stewardship as a way of life.
