As part of our discipleship way of life here at Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church and School, we must be deliberate in giving back to God in thanksgiving for everything that He has given to us. We must give of our time, our talent, and our treasure. We struggle to find enough volunteers to fill many liturgical and volunteer roles within the parish. Maybe you've noticed that many of the same people serve in Mass ministries week after week. Sometimes in multiple ministries at the same Mass time. If we had more willing disciples, we could schedule people once per month instead of two or three times per month. There are many ways we can give of our time and our talent here in our church community...many roles don't take a lot of time, just an earnest desire to give back to God. Please prayerfully consider filling one or more of the following ministries or volunteer areas.
