Parish Serve Day

Parish Serve day was initiated by you, our parish family, as a result of a parish-wide survey in 2017.  We had an overwhelming response for more service opportunities... especially for families to do together.  Parish Serve Day is our answer to that.
 
Our second annual Parish Serve Day will be Saturday, March 30^th, 2019!  We will start the day with Mass and then send forth participants to their volunteer sites.
 
There will be multiple service projects across the city, and parishioners can sign up for the project that interests them most.   (Service groups are made up of 10-20 people.) There will be a variety of opportunities to suit different interests and different ages, as well as some simple projects in Fr. Porter Hall to accommodate our youngest parishioners or those with limited mobility.   

General Schedule of the day:
8:15 am - Mass
9:00 am - Donuts and send off
