Communications Team

The Communications Team welcomes anyone who is skilled in various aspects of production for our main communications tools, which include: our webpage, the Good News bulletin, State of the Parish report, various ministry brochures, and other special feature documents. The Team would consist of anyone who had talents in the following areas: writing, layout and design, computer skills, production, and graphic arts capabilities. The Team would have bi-monthly meetings to assess overall design and layout for all communication tools of the parish, and then individually or in small teams, work on executing the goals set forth by the larger committee at the bi-monthly meetings. This should prove to be a fun and creative group, focused on making great things happen in a creative team setting! 

Cooperative Nursery

Childcare for walking toddlers through age 3 staffed by parents who use the nursery during the 10:00am Mass.

A survey is in process to review this ministry for potential expansion.
