    Front Office Volunteers
    • are you a people person? do you like checking boxes off to-do lists? This is for you!

      We're looking for a few more front desk office volunteers. Some of the responsibilities are...

      • being a joyful and welcoming face for the parish.
      • answering phone calls
      • selling Barnaby's Pizza coupons 
      • giving directions or answering basic parish questions ("where's the bathroom? how do I register as a parishioner?" etc.)
      • light office tasks (mailing, filing, etc.)
      • computer skills are a bonus but not required.
      • but a tolerance for periods of busyness or boredom is required! 

      Time Commitment: willing to make a weekly commitment for at least three hours (a morning and/or afternoon slot) once per week. Most volunteers choose one day to cover the front desk per week. 

      Contact Lisa Janczewski if interested! 


    Gardening
    • does st. isidore envy your green thumb? is getting in the dirt therapeutic for you? this is for you!

      Gardening almost doesn't feel like a ministry for the gardeners among us - they get so much personal enjoyment from making things beautiful and getting in the mud! Put your talents to good use and help keep our 'little flowers' alive! 

      We need parishioners to claim garden plots to make beautiful as you desire!

      Time Commitment: 1-2 hours weekly during the warm months; you can come anytime to work on your plot, no scheduling needed!

      Contact Vince Feck to sign up!
    Church Cleaning
    • does making things squeaky clean fill you with joy? this is for you!

      Many hands make light work! Join our fledgling church cleaning ladies ministry! 

      Responsibilities include:
      • vacuuming church & chapel
      • dusting
      • window cleaning
      • plant watering
      • laundering linens
      • aiding Fr. Julius with changes in sanctuary for liturgical seasons

      • other tasks as they become evident!

      Reach out to Darlene if interested!

    Household Leader
    • do you love to host in your home? do you love making people feel loved & cherished? this is for you!

      We're looking for people who want to show the love of Jesus to others by welcoming friends & strangers into their home for households. 

      The ideal household leader is:
      • a sold-out disciple of Jesus.
      • overjoyed to open your home up to friends you haven't met yet!
      • skilled at providing meals for others - or at least, a whiz with ordering takeout! 
      • not afraid to lead group discussions and communal prayer.

      Time Commitment: 3 hours per month for monthly household gathering, plus additional hours of discipleship with participants.

      Contact Abby to throw your hat into the ring! 


    Security
    • are you passionate about making the church a place where people feel safe? this is for you!

      We're looking for volunteers to commit to one Mass per week as the point person for any security events arising at weekend Masses. This would involve monitoring who's entering and leaving the church, on the lookout for suspicious behavior, and providing deescalation or deterrence as needed.

      Contact Fr. Julius for more information!
