Help Needed

Be a messenger of Christ's Transforming Love!

Many find themselves feeling alone, isolated in this time of pandemic. Fight that isolation by reaching out to others! We comewith an appeal for serve as an Communion Outreach minister. While our parish Communion Outreach teams visit hospitals and nursing homes within our parish boundaries, we have a special relationship with the residents of Westminster Senior Living where many long time parishioners reside.
You can help them remain connected to a community they enriched. Here are things you should know:

• At this time we are reaching Westminster residents by phone, but as soon as it is safe to do so, you'll be part of a team that brings the Eucharist to the facility 

• You must be EIM certified

• You'll receive training and -on-the-job coaching from experienced members of the Westminster team

Your wisdom, 
experience, and creative problem solving skills would be a great gift to the parish. Please consider serving on a council of advisors to help us achieve greater efficiencies with technology. We have questions about the merits of local v. cloud storage? Our equipment is aging and due for update. What questions should we be asking as we make decisions regarding investment in our technology infrastructure? 

If you'd like to volunteer for this project of limited, although at this time unknown duration, please contact:

During this time of re-opening St. Austin for Mass, there are few on staff able to help at our weekend liturgies, and we hope some of you will consider giving us a hand with Hospitality at Mass. You DO NOT have to be a member of our regular Hospitality Ministry to help but you DO have to be EIM certified.

This task is very easy and involves: Ushering families/individuals to available seats, making sure to maintain 6-feet distance between parties, and reminding them of the importance of wearing their face mask during Mass. (You will not hand out worship aids or have any physical contact with anything/anyone.)

Hospitality Helpers must wear a face mask at all times. If you feel comfortable helping, contact~
