Volunteer & Service Organizations
MATER ECCLESIAE NEEDS YOU!!
Would you like to become more involved in the parish activities at Mater Ecclesiae? Many parishioners have expressed an interest in finding out how they can volunteer and help out at our parish. As we continue to grow, we want everyone to have a chance to become as active as they want to be in parish life. If you have a talent, skill, or hobby that you are willing to share, tell us about it. Our Volunteer & Service Organizations and Apostolates & Societies are looking for new members. Mater Ecclesiae has many needs and we are trying to match up volunteers with ongoing and upcoming projects, events and activities. If you would be willing to volunteer some of your time, whether it is a few hours every week, once a month, or "once in a while", we need you. Please fill out the volunteer form and return it to the Rectory Office. We will be contacting you to let you know how you can help out by volunteering at Mater Ecclesiae.
