The Parish Office is seeking 3-5 individuals who would like to work at the Front Desk. Bilingual skills are helpful, however not every volunteer needs to be bilingual. Shifts are four-to-six-hours and one day a week. Duties include greeting visitors, answering phones, directing calls, assisting with Mass Intentions, sorting mail, and assisting with small projects. There are a few tasks requiring great attention to detail. These might be done by one of these volunteers.
