Volunteer Opportunities
Stewardship is the lifelong task and responsibility held in common by all baptized Christians to use their own unique gifts, talents and personhood to build up the Kingdom of God.
St. John the Baptist is a community which helps us to realize our baptismal call by forming, supporting and nurturing us in a spirit of mutuality, for service both within and beyond our parish community.
We hope that you, will be inspired by the numerous outreach programs and ministries at St. John's and that you will step forward as volunteer ministers to help our parish remain vital. Please see our Ministry Directory ~ Personal Service Opportunities here.
Volunteers who minister to children, youth or vulnerable adults must undergo a background check, sign a code of conduct and attend a VIRTUS session as mandated by the Archdiocese. The required forms may be printed out by clicking the links below. Please note: If you are not driving a vehicle as part of your ministry, you do NOT need to complete the Driver's Information Form.
