How Can I Support Youth Ministry?
| Youth Ministry Volunteering |
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. While registering for a class, there will be a link to submit a background check. There is also a hard copy available in the link below.
A gift to the youth of the parish is also a gift to the donor. The young Church is our joy in the present and our hope for the future. Please consider laying aside some treasure in Heaven by giving up some treasure for them now.
Your donation makes it possible to:
- Get exciting new curriculum and program materials
- Provide program scholarships for families in financial distress
- Renovate the Youth Room
- Provide refreshments for sessions, activities, and sacramental receptions
- Cover event costs for chaperones
- Reduce activity fees
- Show appreciation to catechists
- Go on Mission Trips
...and more!
Your support is greatly appreciated!
