    Quilters

    The Quilters make quilts for the needy as well as newly baptized infants and children.

    A Rummage Sale is held every year to raise funds. For this, many volunteers are needed! The Sale typically occurs in the Spring. 


    Funeral Ministry

    Meals are provided in conjunction with parish funerals and the entire parish is part of this ministry.  The active committee sets up, serves and cleans up afterwards.  Contact the parish office to volunteer!

  • Columbiettes, Auxiliary 1629
