Volunteer Opportunities Outside the Parish
There are also many Volunteer Opportunities in our community. If you are looking for some ideas of where to volunteer your time and talent, please click on the "Volunteer Opportunities Outside the Parish" page.
We are looking for people willing to help with Children's Liturgy of the Word on Sunday mornings during 10:00am Mass for children 4 years old through 1st grade. During Children’s Liturgy of the Word children are dismissed from the assembly to hear the Gospel at a level of understanding for them. They talk about it’s meaning for their lives, and enter into prayer with the other children gathered.
Over the last several years this program has grown and now we need some assistance. Please consider joining this wonderful ministry.

RCIA Team
Our RCIA team is constantly seeking qualified new team members. We have several different types of responsibilities. Our program is in both English and Spanish. We are currently in need of Spanish speaking team members.
RCIA Needs Adults as Parish Guides
A Parish Guide is assigned to each participant in the RCIA Faith Journey. This person is NOT a sponsor or godparent. A guide attends class with the participant and meets regularly at their convenience with the candidate or catechumen. The time frame is from the start of Advent until Ash Wednesday. Parish Guides help the participant become familiar with St. Therese as a parish family. They also help the participant get answers to important questions, and help with understanding the program material and with any schedule issues. The relationship between the guide and participant is spiritual, personal and confidential. The guide seeks the RCIA team’s help when they do not have the information or resources needed to help the participant. Many times the participant asks the guide to continue on through Lent as their sponsor or godparent. The parish guide is free to accept or reject that added responsibility. For more information on the role of a Parish Guide contact Mark Youngquist mnyoungquist@gmail.com (English) or Bill Booker wrbooker@gmail.com (Spanish).
