This weekend I would like to help you brainstorm how to use
your time and talents to support the mission of our parishes. Below is a list of possibilities of
service that will help us love God, love our neighbor, seek the lost and make
disciples.
·
Time
o Volunteer
at the Community Clothes Closet
o Serve
free dinner at the Community Café
o Mow
lawns in the summer
o Serve
coffee and donuts after 10:30 Mass
o Become
a sacristan (Mass set up)
o Become
an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion for Mass and/or bringing communion
to the sick
o Become
an altar server
o Become
a member of our Ministry of Praise
o Attend
a Mass at our nursing homes
o Volunteer
in our faith formation programs
o Join
one of our parish organizations—Knights of Columbus, Catholic Daughters,
Tabernacle Society
o Volunteer
at St. Thomas Aquinas School
·
Talent
o If
you have musical abilities and can play or sing, please consider doing so at
Mass
o If
you are a handyman, check in at the parish/school to see how you could help
with small/easy projects
o Do
you have other technical skills that you think we could put to use?
o If
interior design is your thing, both our Church and offices could always use
creative minds to create an aesthetically pleasing space
Do any of these catch your
eye? If so, please inquire at the
office about specific tasks and other pertinent details. Offering your time and talent is just
as important for the life of the Church as is offering money.
Please consider how God is calling
you to advance our parish mission this Lent and beyond and know of my gratitude
for all of our volunteers and all you already do!
God Bless!
