Operating and maintaining a church requires a lot of attention and hard work. At Our Lady of the Rosary, we rely heavily on our parishioners to share their time and talents to assist in ensuring we have a clean, organized, efficient, and well-maintained environment. Please consider volunteering your time to help us!
Grounds and Building Maintenance
The majority of the maintenance work done in the church is done by volunteers. If you have plumbing, electrical, heating/air, technology, or construction skills, we can find a job for you!
Church Cleaners
The church, Rosary Hall, and kitchens are cleaned weekly by a small number of church volunteers who would greatly appreciate additional help.
Church Office Assistants
There are always numerous tasks that need done in the church office. If you like to file, type, copy materials, help with the church bulletin, or related jobs, our church office can keep you busy! You can set your own schedule based on your other commitments.
Faith Formation Teachers and Aides
Our volunteer teachers are qualified and certified through hours of learning and workshops sponsored by the Pastoral Leadership Council of the Diocese. We are in continual need for more volunteer teachers and aides. In return, you will be given the gift of helping a young child experience the glory of learning about the Lord!
Finance Committee
If you have experience in dealing with budgets, setting financial priorities, and developing annual and capital spending plans, you are perfectly suited to serve on the church’s Finance Committee. We would love to have your expertise!
Hispanic Festival
Every September, our Hispanic parishioners hold an exciting one-day Hispanic Festival in the field behind the Parish Center. The festival is packed full of delicious food, vendors, music, dancing, and activities for the children. The event raises over $10,000 each year that is donated to the church. Volunteer workers and cooks are always welcome!
Offertory Counters
If you are good at counting money and paying attention to detail, you would make a great offertory counter. Offertory counters meet on Tuesdays to count the offerings from the previous weekend Masses. The process usually takes about three hours, and you can schedule whatever number of sessions you prefer.
Parish Life/Social Events
Do you enjoy planning fun events that bring people together and encourage a sense of unity within the parish? The Parish Life ministry is in charge of planning and conducting various social events at the church such as St. Patrick’s Day dinner, feast day celebrations, church picnics, and funeral dinners. Most social events are held in the Parish Center.
Parish Pastoral Council
The Parish Pastoral Council is an advisory leadership body that assists the Pastor and the Parish staff in discerning the needs of the Parish and, by recommending strategic goals and priorities, guides the Parish in fulfilling its mission as a Christian community. A big part of fulfilling the Council’s mission is listening so they can understand the needs and concerns of our parish members. Council members are asked to make a three-year commitment. Meetings are held monthly.
