Volunteer for Fellowship Sonday

Who Can Serve

Anyone who is a member or regular attendee of the parish and is willing to help serve coffee and donuts during Fellowship Sondays.

What Volunteers Do

Volunteers typically help with setting up and preparing coffee and donuts before Fellowship Sonday, serve them to attendees, maintain the refreshment area during the gathering, and assist with cleaning up afterward to create a welcoming and hospitable environment for fellowship and community bonding.

When We Serve

We typically meet on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of every month for Fellowship Sondays.

Volunteers can choose to serve from these Sunday Masses:

  • English Masses: 7:30 am, 9 am, 11 am
  • Spanish Masses: 1 pm, 3 pm
Why You Should Serve

Because it provides an opportunity to serve others, foster a sense of community, and create a welcoming atmosphere that enhances fellowship among parish members and visitors.
