What Can I Do for My Parish?
If this is not the first question you ask yourself each morning, we understand. But it is one of the most important questions every member of a parish should ask, and it's something we should all take to heart. After all, we are not just individuals passing through; we are part of a community of faith, a living body that thrives on the active participation and commitment of each one of its members.
Our parish is more than just a place where we gather for Mass or receive sacraments. It’s where we come together as one family in Christ, to support, uplift, and encourage one another on our spiritual journeys. The strength and vitality of this parish depend not only on the priest or staff, but on each of us using our time, talents, and treasure for the good of the whole. When every member is actively engaged, the whole parish grows stronger—spiritually, relationally, and even physically.
Jesus entrusted His 12 disciples with the authority to preach the Gospel and to heal the sick. This divine mandate to serve has been passed down through the generations, and now it’s our responsibility to continue that mission. Here at MMM Parish, we are blessed with many dedicated individuals who volunteer their time, skills, and passion to enrich our community and fulfill Christ's call to serve.
However, as much as we value the efforts of those already involved, there are always more ways to contribute. We all have unique gifts and talents, and the parish is in constant need of people who are willing to offer their gifts in service to others. Whether you have a few hours a month or can dedicate more time, there is always a place for you in one of our ministries or organizations.
Take a moment to think about how you could make a difference. Is there a particular talent or passion you have that could benefit the parish? Are you feeling called to become more active in your faith? We encourage you to explore the many opportunities available within our parish—whether it’s helping to organize events, joining a prayer group, becoming a lector, assisting in faith formation, or supporting our outreach ministries.
By giving of yourself, you’ll not only help strengthen our parish, but you’ll also discover that your life becomes more deeply enriched. After all, it is through giving that we receive, and in serving others that we draw closer to Christ Himself.
Have a Good Week and God Bless
