Youth Ministry would be impossible without caring adult volunteers! Whether you're interested in helping out regularly, just once for a special event, or every now and then, we can use you and your skills! To volunteer, you need to contact Violeta in the Parish Office at 425-743-2929 ext 111. To find a training near you, click here and look under the Seattle Archdiocese sessions.
