Volunteer with Holy Cross

​​Heavenly Dusters

Volunteers are needed to dust, sweep, and change the holy water in the fonts at each entrance to the church.  Volunteers are needed once a week for one month.  The Time commitment is at most 2 hours per week, at a time convenient for the volunteer.  No meetings!

​​

Funeral Luncheon Worker

Volunteers are needed to help with Funeral Dinners.  Work includes setting up the parish hall, preparing hot food, putting desserts on plates, serving, and cleaning up.  Volunteer for any or all of these.  Time commitment can vary as needed.

​

Coffee Shop Hosts

Each Sunday, after the morning Masses, Holy Cross has a Coffee Shop in the Parish Center.  Coffee, tea, milk, and orange juice are served with donuts.  It's an opportunity to visit with friends and a chance to meet new parishioners.  The event is free; however, donations are welcome.  Volunteers are needed to host the coffee shop.  Duties include setting up, serving, and cleaning up.  This ministry takes approximately an hour, and volunteers can choose to set up and serve after either the 8:00 a.m. or the 10:00 a.m. Mass.

​

​Food Donations

Holy Cross has a time-honored tradition, like most Catholic parishes, of providing grieving families with a nice meal after the funeral of their loved one.  A nice meal waiting for them is one of the best ways to show our support for them during this difficult time.  We kindly request that volunteers provide desserts and salads for this meal.  Funeral dinners typically have only a couple of days' notice.  You can be notified by phone or email when and what food is needed.  Homemade is great, but store-bought food is fine, too.  Dishes prepared should serve 10-12 people.  Items are dropped off at the Parish Center the day before or the morning of the funeral.  

​

Decorating Team

The decorating team is responsible for creating and maintaining the church's floral arrangements throughout the liturgical year, as well as the spectacular Christmas and Easter season decorations for which Holy Cross is known.  Time commitments vary throughout the year, with the most work occurring during Advent, Christmas, and Easter.

​

Parish Library

Our parish library features a diverse collection of books on various topics suitable for all age groups.  Located in the lounge in the Parish Center, it is open most Sunday mornings during the Coffee Shop and during regular parish office hours.

Parish Nurse Program

Parish Nurses are available for home visits, health and wellness education, advocacy, or dealing with questions or concerns parishioners may have about their health.
