The office staff handles some tasks and events here at OLPH. But how are the rest of
the projects completed? Does the lawn mow itself? Do Sunday Masses just happen? Do
broken doors fix themselves? Do
cracked walls patch themselves? Do computers clean themselves of malware? Is it magic?
Perhaps a host of heavenly help? Give up? The answer is "none of the above." A very few
jobs need outside
expertise. The rest are handled by volunteers. By us, the parishioners.
Here's your chance to give of your time and talent. These are
OLPH and OLPH-related events that need your help to be successful. Find an event
you have time for and click the 'I Volunteer!' button to sign up!
Please note that any email address(es) and phone number(s) you submit will be used
by the OLPH office and/or the event contact person only. Your name may appear on
the OLPH web site in conjunction with any events you may sign up for.
