Serve God, Serve Others
We Need YOU!
Get involved, meet others and help us grow!
Help at Mass
For more information on how to serve at mass, contact the Parish Office, 501-327-6568.
Eucharistic Ministers
We need more Eucharistic Ministers to serve at Mass and to take communion to our homebound parishioners.
Sacristans
While we are enjoying mass, a whole lot is going on behind the scenes to make it happen. Sacristans arrive 1 hour before mass to open doors and prepare, perform several duties during mass, then stay 30-60 min. after mass to clean up & lock the church.
Ushers
We need more Ushers to help at Mass.
Audio/Visual
Our A/V team needs more people to help run the presentation equipment during mass. If you are comfortable working a computer, please consider helping so they can have a break. It's not difficult!!

Funeral Food Teams
Volunteers are needed to bring food for the family meal after a funeral. Volunteers are placed on teams; each team prepares food for 2-3 funerals per year. (No serving or help is involved; food items are dropped off at church the morning of the funeral.) Contact: Jacqueline Kordsmeier, [email protected] or 501-329-1818.

Annulment Advocates
We are in need of more Annulment Advocates, to assist divorcees through the process. It is natural for someone who has been through an annulment to become an Annulment Advocate, although anyone is welcome to help out in this area. Contact Yolanda Beruman, [email protected] or 501-327-6568.
Marriage Prep Sponsor Couples
We are in need of Sponsor Couples to serve as mentors for our Engaged Couples. Sponsor Couple training is a simple 2-3 hour session, materials are provided, and you meet with Engaged Couples 4-5 times in your home. Contact Yolanda Beruman, [email protected] or 501-327-6568.
