​A New Parish Website for Parish Families and Youth

To Our Young Adults
​     In order for your parish to better serve your changing needs, such as being a witness/sponsor for a sacrament, preparing for marriage, or having a child baptized, we ask that you please contact the parish office to be registered as an adult. By registering on your own, it ensures that we have your current information and helps the parish to serve you. Please call the parish office at 419-668-6044 to register.

Augustine Institute Kiosk
     A kiosk with several forms of media for each of us to grow in our Catholic faith has been placed by the elevator in the Gathering Space.

Outreach and Volunteer Opportunities

Seamstresses Needed
     We are in need of baptismal gowns for young children (pre-school - kindergarten age) and face masks.  If you would like to share your gift of sewing with the parish, please contact the parish office at 419-668-6044. Thank you!

Childcare Volunteers Needed
     For our parents to participate in the wonderful things we offer at our parish, offering childcare is essential.  If you or someone you know is willing to help, even occasionally, during the day, an evening, or for weekend events, please contact Jen Sanders in the parish office, 419-669-6044.

Prayer Shawl Ministry
     Shawls/lap warmers are handmade with love and prayers. These gifts are given to individuals in need of spiritual strength and healing during times of illness or unexpected trials.
     No meetings are required. Work at your own pace. Use any pattern you choose. Quilt, knit, or crochet!  Size is anything larger than 42" x 60". Step out in faith and become the hands of the Holy Spirit in action and make a shawl, or call with the name of a person in need.
     For more information or to drop off a prayer shawl or lap warmer, please contact Jeri Miller @ 419-706-3710.

Wanted: Loving, Caring Foster Parents
     People on our community have made a great impact by opening their homes to children who have been abused, abandoned, or neglected. The first step is to ask how to become a foster parent. If you are interested, please use the contact information on this flyer from the Huron County Department of Job and Family Services, or visit their website.

Reach Our Youth (ROY) - Mentors Needed
     Mentoring is a great way to help kids live healthy, happy lives. There are currently 75 children in Huron County on the ROY waiting list for a mentor. Teens (age 16 and older) and adults can be mentors. You can make a difference in the life of a child! For more information on becoming a mentor, contact Kathy Noftz at 419-663-2525.  See the flyer!
