Anyone 18 and up
We help organize the Mercy Ministry Gala, assists participants, and contribute to raising funds for Mercy Ministry.
The Gala is usually the first Friday of October and we need help months before to help plan and on the day of.
Because the volunteering for the gala gives you an opportunity to contribute to our community, support our church’s mission, and create a memorable event that brings people together for a good cause.
If you are 18 years old and above, our archdiocese requires all adult volunteers to complete safe environment training.
This short one-hour online training teaches people how to create a secure and protected environment for everyone, especially children, by recognizing and preventing potential risks or harm.

Eric Larson: “I have filled a need in my life by helping the annual Gala for the Mercy Ministry. My skills and life experience doesn’t tend to be what the Church looks for from volunteers. Teaching or spreading faith is not a forte of mine. But when there was a need for organizing and ‘behind the scenes’ help or building, I found a place where I can help. I’ve looked for something like this for a long time, and I’m quite proud to help.
Seeing the Gala as a success is so rewarding to me. Knowing how many people in the community will get help they need because of something I helped with is a blessing to me and my family.”
