Volunteer
Adult volunteers are always welcome and needed! If you're interested in helping teach the next generation about their faith, please don't hesitate to reach out. Faith Formation needs teachers, assistants, substitute teachers, a personal safety teacher, an office monitor, and cooks. ​If any dads in particular would be willing to help with the older students, they would greatly benefit from your example.
