Our parish is an extended family where we need everyone to contribute whenever and whatever they can. Some years are more difficult than others. That is why there are so many different ways and times to contribute. Some take very little time, while others require more. You can pick the ones that work best for you and be a bigger part of the community of faith. Giving my time helps me feel more connected and that I am sharing some of the gifts that God has given me.
Through volunteering, I have the opportunity to become a friend, a teacher, and a student in faith. The St Genevieve community has opened my heart and broadened my horizons. The connection to God and joy I feel each time I walk through the doors inspires me (& my children) to do again and again.
Jesus came to show us how to live – and we know he didn’t just pray at the Temple and call it good. He got out there and served others. When we use our gifts to serve others, the most beautiful thing happens – we deepen our connections and create a stronger community of faith. |
