Holy Spirit serves dinner at St. Benedict’s to the homeless and food insecure quite each week. Many compassionate HSCP parishioners serve either on Monday evenings, on the 2nd Thursday of the month, every 6 weeks on Saturday evenings, and breakfast every Sunday morning. Thank you to all our volunteers. As you may have already realized your efforts are appreciated by those you serve. You’re a blessing to them.
There are some openings to help serve on our Thursday assignment. Please take some time to consider helping serve on the second Thursday of the month from 4:40—6:00 pm or on the 5th Saturday.
If you prefer to work behind the scenes, another opportunity is to prepare food every 5th Saturday. If you can help, please email amy@holyspiritlubbock.org or call the office and let us know when you can help. Thank you!
Holy Spirit has a large group who help each Mass run smoothly by volunteering to serve as altar servers, extraordinary ministers of the Eucharist, lectors/readers, ceremonial ministers and audio-visual monitors. As our parish continues to flourish and grow, so does our need for volunteers.
Volunteers are assigned on a rotating basis to avoid having any one person serve every weekend. Currently, to completely meet the ministry needs at each Mass the following additional volunteers are needed.
5:00 Saturday 5 Altar Servers and 10 Eucharistic Ministers. 8:00 Sunday 16 EMs and 1 Audio-visual 10:30 Sunday 45 EMS and 3 Audio-visual 4:00 Sunday 7 Altar Servers, 16 Ems and 2 Audio-visual.
Please take some time to consider how you might be able to help as a liturgical minister. As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God’s varied grace. 1Peter 4:10
Many are called, will you answer? If you could help please contact Jo Mogan at croknitmom1984@ gmail.com or call the parish office 806.698.6400 You can also sign up using the Volunteer Form
