Friendship Sunday Volunteers

New volunteers are needed to help with Friendship Sunday. This includes setting up Assumption Hall for coffee and donuts after each morning Mass. This is a great opportunity to help as a team and to meet new parishioners. It is also a great way for the youth of the Parish to help out. For additional information, contact Jeanine Walker at walkerrjbp@sbcglobal.net.

Rides to Mass on Sunday

Is the participation in Holy Mass the most important part of your week? Would you take on very little inconvenience to help someone else get to Mass who otherwise might not be able to attend? Do you have extra space in your car to dive someone to Mass on Saturday evenings or on Sunday? Do you have five or ten extra minutes either before or after Mass to pick up and drop someone off? Are you an insured driver? If you answered yes to all five questions, then this ministry is for you! Please contact John Stebbins at 644-4674 to sign up for this important ministry.

Welcome Table Hosts Needed

Each Sunday, we have our weekly Friendship Sunday/Sunday Experiences after each of the morning Masses, which includes coffee and donuts, and often many additional small events. Part of these events is the Welcome Table that is set up directly inside Assumption Hall, to welcome parishioners as they arrive for the events. This welcome table includes information for new parishioners, bulletins, and upcoming special events. Please consider volunteering some time after Mass to help out with the Welcome Table. All that is needed is about 30 minutes, after one or two Masses each month, to help out with this welcome table. Helping out generally includes hanging around the welcome table and greeting people as they come into the hall. Sometimes this could also include handing out information, selling merchandise such as Advent Wreaths, signing people up for special events, and the like. The main requirement is being there to greet everyone and to make the after-Mass events welcoming to everyone. There are up to 15 Mass times that we are looking to fill each month.  For additional information, contact Sherie DeVillers at sholaway@yahoo.com or (805) 415-0639.
