RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
The parish has a catechetical education program from grades one through seven. The diocesan Safe Environment Office requires that there be two adults in each class. We greatly appreciate your help in this weekly program. Please contact the parish office to volunteer.
PRAYER
Father Ben can be available by appointment for the Sacrament of the Sick and in emergency situations. There are also members of the parish who are willing to come to visit people wishing for prayers for healing or intentions. This can also be offered in the church by arrangements through the parish office.
MUSIC
Music is an integral part of community worship. We are blessed with a number of volunteer groups who lead us in song at our Saturday and Sunday Masses. If you have a musical talent we would be glad to have you serve. If so, please contact the parish office.
ELDERS/SENIORS
We have a team of volunteers that attend the celebration of the Mass once monthly at the Summerland Senior Village. Extraordinary ministers of the Eucharist bring communion to the sick and shut-in. To assist in this ministry speak to the pastor or contact the parish office.

Parish Youth Ministries is beginning a new initiative. Stay tuned for updates as they come. To participate or volunteer contact our Youth Ministry Coordinator.
