Volunteers Needed
At present we are seeking people to help out in a number of different ways: as ministers of the Word, in Music & Singing, as Eucharistic ministers, in helping with finance (counting the various collections as they occur).
We also invite people to host the Station Masses, as many areas have been without Stations for some time.
If you are willing to do any of the above, please let me know, or inform any member of the Parish Pastoral Council.
