Rose Holmes - Liturgical CoordinatorMost Precious Blood parishioner and volunteer, Rose Holmes,
recently wrote about her volunteering experience.
“Last summer I saw Roseann Furbush (our Pastoral Associate)
rush between parishes setting up for Mass. I asked how I could
help. Roseann tasked me with opening the Church, setting up for
Mass and closing the church. She gave me an easy to follow list
of steps to accomplish the tasks.
Roseann gave me a gift. Getting involved meant meeting the
priests - seeing them off the altar as neighbors, and chatting with
other parishioners who are all wearing multiple hats covering
Masses. I feel a greater connection with my faith and our
collaborative as a result.
Entering the Church when it's quiet and talking with God as I set
up is a powerful experience. We hear terms like “walking
alongside each other” and “worshipping in community.” These
things matter. We strengthen each other in faith. We learn from
each other. We support each other.”
We encourage you to consider volunteering in our parishes. It is
truly a rewarding experience! Many of our volunteer opportunities
are listed in our newsletter. If you would like to volunteer as a
Liturgical Coordinator, please contact Roseann Furbush at
Roseann@mpb-stp.org or call her at either parish office.
