Service

Do you like to just lend a hand here and there whenever you see a need? We have a variety of different areas where your helping hands and heart would be so very appreciated.

Adoration Chapel Cleaning

Do you love spending time in the Chapel? Do you feel the love of Jesus and the Holy Spirit when you are there? Our chapel is a gift to all of us. Do you have an hour to help us clean?

In the winter, there are only a few hours each month when we have the open time to clean: Friday between 12:15 and 2 pm on the 3rd & 4th weekends of the month. Volunteers would work on a rotating schedule cleaning the pews and wood kneeler frames of salt, dirt and cobwebs. We supply the cleaning products if you have the time to help us out.
