A wonderful opportunity for our youth to serve the Lord and church community! Children in the 4th grade or older, who have completed the sacraments of Baptism and First Communion, and who would like to be actively involved in the Mass may serve. The primary role of the Altar Server is to assist the priest during Mass.
Support the care of the altar by cleaning and laundering altar cloths and hospitality linens. Linens require special handling, ironing skills, and a washer and dryer.
Assist staff with traditional and seasonal church décor and general aesthetics of the church building.
Welcome and serve our community by hosting Coffee Hour and/or simply providing food donations after weekend Masses. It's all about hospitality and fellowship, and plays an important role in growing the parish. We currently have a great need for volunteers to continue this minisitry!
OLOS was once heavily involved in volunteering and fundraising for our local food bank and winter shelter. Pre-COVID, OLOS provided meals for the homeless regularly. We seek to revitalize our role as a parish helping our own community. We welcome volunteers of all ages to meet and create a new committee to help our local food bank, other local charitable organizations, or an OLOS project.
Adult parishioners who assist in the distribution of Holy Communion at Mass. We currently have a shortage in this ministry!
Both skilled and professional guidance is needed to ensure proper church upkeep and public safety. Regularly review the condition of the parish buildings, grounds, utilities, and infrastructure. Help with general repairs, seasonal, and routine maintenance is needed.
Sunday Classes: Volunteer teachers and classroom helpers assist in the faith formation of children from kindergarten through the 6th grade.
First Reconciliation/Communion Prep: Help teach children for the Sacrament of Reconciliation or Communion.
Confirmation Prep: Help prepare the youth Confirmation preparation program.
Children's Liturgy of the Word: Help children learn about the Sunday readings at a more understandable level during Sunday Mass.
Youth Group: Adults working with staff to support the youth group program and core curriculum.
If you are a landscaper, ground maintenance person, or just have a green thumb, help beautify and tend designated garden spaces on church property.
Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist for Homebound: Bring the Eucharist to the sick or elderly confined in their homes, assisted living facilities, and hospital community.
Handywork for Homebound: Sometimes our elderly or homebound parishioners could use a bit of help at home to clean leaves from gutters, mowing, fixing a dripping faucet, etc.
Women's Outreach: Calling all women to carry out team visits for the elderly and homebound. Provide companionship, do light chores and shopping, vet and communicate any needs that fall within the Homebound Network to dispatch help for the elderly or homebound.
This Catholic men’s group supports vocations to the religious life. Involvement is a chance for personal growth, responsibility, and leadership. They host the annual Lenten Fish Fry, lead Tuesday night Rosary, and help with parish fundraising events. Outreach projects include Coats for Kids through the state council. We also offer life insurance and retirement investments to protect the family.
Readers that proclaim the Word for weekend Masses and special liturgies.
Plans and coordinates liturgical ministries to meet the needs of the parish for weekend Masses, Feast Days and special liturgies. Made up of ministry leads in charge of training and directives for each ministry group (Lectors - vacant, Ushers – vacant), plus up to 2 parishioners who don’t necessarily serve in liturgical ministry who provide insight (these 2 positions are also vacant).
We are currently welcoming cantors for Saturday Vigil Mass with Nell Engel and both cantors and instrumentalists for Sunday Mass with Michael Marchione. Cantors lead the congregation in psalms and hymns.
Serve “behind the scenes” in a vital role to ensure all the elements needed for Mass are in place.
“No work of charity is foreign to St. Vincent de Paul.” We meet with our neighbors in the local community in need within their homes to provide hope, comfort, help, and guidance. We help them with rent, utilities, food, and many other items.
Assist in greeting, seating, taking up the collection, and obtaining/assisting the host family in presenting the offering. Ushers also help those needing assistance during Mass.
