Come to the Church either Tuesday or Wednesday, September 25 or 26, at 6:15 PM for about one hour of training. We are in need of Eucharistic Ministers for Sunday Masses. This is very rewarding - to look into all the faces that are receiving Christ!

SEED Gift Card Volunteers Needed!
We need two more volunteers to complete our SEED Gift Card Team and then have every weekend Mass covered. This ministry is 15 minutes before Mass and about 25 minutes after. We have many, many regular buyers of our SEED gift cards and this makes over $30,000 for our parish each year - at no extra, out-of-pocket cost for our parishioners! Truly - a No-Cost Fundraiser! Please call Jaime Philip in the Parish Office if you can help, 512-261-8500.
