    COMMITTEE COMMENTARY:

    Parish Life Coordinator Duties

    The main job of the Parish Life Coordinator is to coordinate parish activities and try to incorporate parish involvement. It is not to do it all, but to invite others to share this ministry.

    • The coordinator keeps aware of supplies.
    • Once a year put-up sign-up sheet for Coffee Hour.
    • Annually, the ovens, fridges, and freezers need cleaned.
    • Get volunteers to help at our four main events: Annual Meeting, Shrove Tuesday, September Kick-off BBQ, & the Bishop’s Visit. 

    If this sounds like something you’d do with ease, chat with Anita Wallinger or Fr. Joseph!
