We are so grateful to all of our volunteers who make our programs possible, from Faith Formation to Youth Ministry!

We are always looking for more volunteers to help with our programs. Contact us today at  if you are interested in helping!

Programs where we need volunteers:

• Faith Formation
  • Catechists (Grades K-8)
  • Substitutes
  • Childcare Volunteers
  • Hall Monitors (we are full!)
• Youth Ministry events
  • Peer Ministry
  • Emmaus Mass

A key to our commitment to promoting safe environments in our parish, Catholic school, and community is for all persons in positions of trust in regard to minors and vulnerable adults to fulfill the Enhanced Essential 3 requirements. This includes all employees AND volunteers who have either regular or unsupervised interaction with youth or vulnerable adults. 

The Enhanced Essential 3 includes:

1. Code of Conduct
2. Safe Environment Training through Virtus
3. Background Check

The above mentioned Essential 3 requirements MUST BE re-credentialed every three years, otherwise you cannot volunteer with us. 

NEW this year with respect to re-credentialing: the Virtus system will automatically start assigning the Background Check, Code of Conduct, and Safe Environment re-training links to your Virtus account 2 years and 9 months after the previous completion. In other words, an email will be sent to the address on file with Virtus indicating the status of your Essential 3 requirements. Simply log into your Virtus account to re-credential.
