Ministry Volunteer Interest List and Online Signup

Are you being called to be a Missionary Disciple?  “...each [person] is an unrepeatable act of God; each one brought into being for a specific purpose, a purpose that will not be carried out by anyone else… This makes every being sacred, very special.”

• All Priests, Deacons, Parish Staff and Volunteers (over the age of 18) who have regular contact with children, are required to obtain and submit the Pennsylvania State Police Criminal Record Check and the Pennsylvania Child Abuse History Clearance.
