Service Opportunities
Youth Ministry Meals and Snacks
We are in need of volunteers for meals and snacks at our youth groups. You are now able to earn FISH hours for assisting! If you are interested in supplying our teens with food, please sign up using this link:
We also accept gift cards, if that is easier for you. A list of our gift card needs can be found here.
For any questions, contact Annaliese Budd at a.budd@smgonline.org. Thank you in advance for your generosity!
Elijah Cup Sign Ups
At each Lord's Day Mass, one family receives a chalice that has held the Consecrated Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ and brings it into their home for one week. This cup is a focal point encouraging family prayer for holy vocations throughout the Church, especially those in Religious Life. It is a powerful presence and inspires prayer from adults and children alike. Would your family be interested in receiving the cup at mass? Sign up here: https://signup.com/client/invitation2/secure/6637671660120/false#/invitation
Need Service Hours? Please read below for two service hour opportunities!
We need teens to help sell pizza in the back of church after all masses this weekend, February 1 & 2. Your job would be to greet parish members after they leave mass with a smile and ask if they might consider purchasing a pizza. You will have a clipboard and an order form to assist with taking orders (these orders would also add to your total for our Pizza Sales Competition). If interested, please respond to the poll below.
Which Mass are you or your teen(s) able to help out at?
