Volunteer Opportunities
Current Volunteer Needs
Below is a list of current volunteer opportunities. Volunteers are vital to the function of our church and in the community. Please consider donating your time to help others - together we can accomplish so much!
Required Volunteer Training
All volunteers 18 and older are required to complete CMG Connect training annually. This requirement applies regardless of whether or not you work with children. Even if you have completed the training in the past, you must retake training each year. Please read the instructions below. If you have any questions, email or call coordinator Kathy McKinney at (704) 545-1224 ext. 12 or email KathyMcKinney@stlukecatholicminthill.org.
​
Note: If you were previously certified using Protecting God's Children (VIRTUS), contact Kathy McKinney.
Parish Council Members Needed
The Parish Council is a consultative body that assists the pastor in leading, planning, and organizing activities and serves as a representative voice of the laity. They are seeking two parishioners to serve on the council to replace those rolling off after their terms end. Learn more about our Parish Council here. If you are interested in applying, please go to https://stluke.life/PCapp. Direct further questions by email to ParishCouncil@stlukecatholicminthill.org.
Usher Coordinator
​
If you don’t have much time to give, consider being our Usher Coordinator! Ushers are available to assist parishioners inside the church, ready the church for Mass, and ensure Mass runs smoothly. If interested, please contact Liturgy@stlukecatholicminthill.org.
​
Family Life Ministry
Our Family Life ministry needs help planning and carrying out fun events for young families. Examples of past events include Bonfire Night, Bingo, Happy Birthday Jesus, and cookie decorating. School-age children look forward to these events, and it gives parents a chance to connect with other families. We hold activities once a month. It takes a small amount of tie, but the payoff is big! If you are interested in joining, please email FamilyLife@stlukecatholicminthill.org.
Jamaica Mission Trip
Agape is seeking volunteers for a six-night mission trip to Kingston, Jamaica from July 14 through July 21. Your days will be filled with prayer, meditation, serving the poor in shelters, reflection, and insights. We'll stay at the Missionaries of the Poor (MOP) monastery. Guest quarters can accommodate up to 10 volunteers, so space is limited. A passport is necessary. The cost is approximately $700 per person. Learn more about volunteering with MOP at https://tinyurl.com/aboutMOP. If interested, please email agape@stlukecatholicminthill.org.
HOPE Ministry
The Helping Other People Endure (HOPE) Ministry provides food for funerals, the homebound, and sick. They visit parishioners in hospitals, nursing homes, and the homebound. If needed, HOPE also provides transportation to doctor appointments. New members are always welcome! For more information, please email HOPE@stlukecatholicminthill.org.
