Volunteer at Our Lady of Grace Parish
Volunteering at Our Lady of Grace is a wonderful experience, and volunteer opportunities are available to all who are interested. If you’re not sure how God is asking you to volunteer, perhaps take some time in prayer to understand what your charism may be. “Whether extraordinary or simple and humble, charisms are graces of the Holy Spirit which directly or indirectly benefit the Church, ordered as they are to her building up, to the good of men, and to the needs of the world.” (CCC 799) Our hope is that here you will find a community where you are able to use your gifts and talents for the glory of God.
