Holy Spirit Volunteer Survey

Holy Spirit Catholic Church

Volunteer Survey 2025
Almost every ministry in our church is in great need of more people who are willing to serve Our Lord and our community. We currently have wonderful volunteers that serve, but we desperately need more help, especially in certain areas. Ministries marked with an asterisk (*) are in high priority need of volunteers!

Are you willing to serve? Remember, many hands make for light work! Please prayerfully consider one of the many ministries that Holy Spirit has to offer. Take time to read through the descriptions below and check the area(s) that you are interested in, and then submit. Jess, our Parish Life Coordinator, will then be contacting you when needed!

"We ask you to consider the unique skills and talents that God has given you and how you can use those gifts to enrich the mission and life of the Church."

WALKING IN THE SPIRIT (SPIRITUALITY)
In Baptism, we are given the Holy Spirit, which guides what we do and empowers us to live the Gospel. The Holy Spirit teaches us how to pray, to fast from what is unnecessary, and to give compassionately to others. Below is a list of the ministries associated with Walking in the Spirit. We invite you to get involved!
SPIRITUAL OPPORTUNITIES

Adoration: On Fridays at Holy Spirit, the Blessed Sacrament is exposed for Adoration after the 8:15 am Mass, usually around 9:00 am. We start by praying the Litany of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, or the Litany of the Blessed Sacrament. We especially pray for the sick and suffering in our parish and families. Adoration concludes with the praying of the Divine Mercy Chaplet at about 2:45 pm, and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament at 3:00 pm. We are looking for volunteers to take an hour of Adoration so there is always someone present in front of the Blessed Sacrament while it is exposed. Gloria Uremovich is the lead for this opportunity.Rosary Group: The Rosary is prayed 30 minutes before each Mass. Volunteers are invited to help lead a decade of the Rosary. Judy Anderson and Liz Scheidt are the leads for this. We also encourage kids to sign up to help recite a decade!Seven Sisters Apostolate: Liz Scheidt is the contact person for this. The group is a group of 7 women who dedicate an hour, one day a week to pray for our pastor. There is also an opportunity to be a substitute Sister, if one of the group is unavailable for their scheduled time.

WORK OF CHRIST (CHRISTIAN SERVICE & OUTREACH)
We are called to do the service (the work) of Christ. We are called to love others and to serve others, especially any in need, with the compassion of Christ. "God has shown you what is good, and what the Lord requires of you: to do justice, to love with mercy, and to walk humbly with your God." (Micah 6:8). Below is a list of ministries associated with the Work of Christ, so we invite you to learn more and join.
