Buildings and Grounds Maintenance
We always need hardworking volunteers, including men, women, and teenagers, to help our fantastic group of volunteers who maintain our extensive property and buildings. Typical skills needed are painting, electrical, plumbing, carpentry, tiling, flooring, roofing, transportation, pressure spraying, and mechanical repairs. The grounds group currently maintains the church campus and rectory landscaping. This includes mowing, trimming hedges, edging, weeding, planting, and applying lawn care products. This group allows the parish to save tens of thousands of dollars a year by not contracting this to a lawn care business.
