Volunteers

Would you like to share your love of your Catholic faith? Do you enjoy working with children? Are you able to dedicate a few hours each week to their faith formation? If so, please prayerfully consider becoming a volunteer - there is always a need for catechists, co-catechists, classroom aides or hall monitors. All Religious Education volunteers must comply with the Diocese of Arlington's Child Protection Policy by completing a background check and attending a VIRTUS seminar.
