Volunteer
There are more ways to help than you think.
Most parishioners volunteer in something — many in two or three things. The parish is held together by 90% volunteer hours and 10% paid staff. Pick a door below; the office will train you, walk with you, and welcome you home.

Year-round · Children
Religious Education catechist
Sundays from September through Easter, K-8 grades. Walk a small group of children through their faith year — readings, songs, the Mass, the saints. Background check + Safe Environment training required. The most rewarding hour of your week.

Holy Week + holidays
Vía Crucis · Las Posadas · Christmas Eve
For three days a year, the whole parish is on its feet. Costumes, choreography, candles, tamales. Volunteer captains run each event; new volunteers always welcome. Everyone has a role, even if it’s carrying a candle.

Behind the scenes
Casa Romero · Office · Maintenance
Pack a kitchen-starter box for a Casa Romero family. Help with the bulletin assembly. Mow the church lawn. Drive an elderly parishioner to a medical appointment. Sometimes the most parish thing is the smallest one.
