Prayer Blanket Ministry |

This ministry is designed to use volunteers to purchase materials,
construct blankets, and pray for the sick. It requires individuals to
commit to a few hours a month making these special blankets that will
ultimately be blessed at a Mass before being distributed. Blankets may
be sewn at an individual’s home. Fabric is acquired through donations,
either monetary or by actual donations of material. The ministry will
meet monthly to pray and work on finishing and labeling the blankets.

RCIA |
|
RCIA, or Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, is the Church’s process for welcoming new members into full communion through catechesis and liturgical celebrations leading up to the Sacraments of Initiation at Easter. The RCIA Team draws on parishioners who are willing to participate in this process by sharing their own faith. At Resurrection, formal sessions begin in September and continue through the Easter season to Pentecost. Volunteers may serve as sponsors who act as a personal link between the newcomer and the parish community by providing encouragement, answering questions, praying for and introducing the newcomer to other parish members and also by participating with newcomers throughout their journey. RCIA also offers a stewardship opportunity to provide RCIA hospitality. This includes hosting a short social function immediately following the RCIA class. The social function generally includes a light refreshment and opportunity for RCIA candidates to visit with other parish members. This is an excellent opportunity for recent converts to become involved and share their experience; however, all parish members are welcome to volunteer. A rotating schedule is developed from the time and talent forms.

Society of St. Vincent de Paul |

Inspired by Gospel values, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, a Catholic lay organization, leads women and men to join together to grow spiritually by offering person-to-person service to those who are needy and suffering in the tradition of its founder, Blessed Frederic Ozanam, and patron St.Vincent de Paul.

Transportation |

Volunteers help take fellow parishioners who cannot drive to Mass on
Sundays. A ride schedule will be mailed to you and all you need to do
is call the parishioner to verify what Mass you will be attending when
it is your turn.
