"I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples." ~Saint Mother Teresa

Stewardship involves all aspects of our lives. As Catholics, we are called by God to serve His people with a grateful heart by using the time,  unique talents and treasures He has bestowed upon us. At St. Patrick Catholic Church, we have opportunities to serve and give in so many ways regardless of your current circumstances or financial situation. No amount of giving is too small to make a significant difference to those around you and your generosity makes a direct impact on others in our parish, community and beyond. 

Please fill out the volunteer form below to be added to our volunteer database in order to be matched with the service opportunities that are most aligned with your skills, interests and availability. You can also learn more about the many opportunities currently available to give and serve in our parish below. Thank you for your willingness to create so many positive ripples in the world!

Our time will be from 10am-1pm and we will do yard work, or whatever the house manager needs assistance with.

There are so many ways to serve within our parish; everything from assisting during Mass to teaching our children about the Catholic faith to helping with our gardens depends on the willingness of parishioners like you to operate smoothly. No matter what your skill set, interests or availability we have a job that could use your time and attention. 

Limited on Time? That's okay, we have opportunties for you to serve during the Mass you are already attending. We are always looking for volunteers during Mass as:

• Greeters
• Lectors 
• Eucharistic ministers
• Altar servers
• Music ministry
• Offetory families
• Ushers
• Sacristans
• Livestream volunteers. 

Not ready to come back in-person for service or events? That's okay, we have opportunites for you to serve others in our parish directly from home. We are seeking volunteers to:

• Welcome new parishioners
• Call the homebound
• Create small group Bible studies
• Making get-well and sympathy cards
• Putting together grief materials or other resources for those in need. 

We offer many other opportunities to serve for those interested in giving more of their time on a regular basis. It is with the help of volunteers that we are able to spread the Good News of Jesus to the children in our parish and those in the community at large. We hope that you consider joining in one of these important ministries and committees.
