9-11th Grade: HS Alpha
We need great adults who love the Lord and our Catholic faith to mentor our high school students. Alpha is a place for teens to hear the Gospel, honestly discuss their beliefs, and respond. Table leaders are responsible for knowing the students at their table by name, praying for them regularly and helping facilitate discussion following the Alpha clips. Note: this is not a teaching role - it is a listening and “prodding” role. Your goal will be to help student give voice to their beliefs, introduce them to the Gospel, and help them figure out how to respond.
Meets Sundays, 11:45-1:15pm.
*Note: To work with children, you will need to complete the necessary Safe Environment requirements. See below.

HS Hospitality Coordinator or Volunteer
Environment is extremely important to Alpha and our Confirmation prep. Volunteers are needed to help set up the space, plan the environment, welcome teens, and prepare food. We’ll also be serving a meal at each Alpha and Confirmation prep session. A lead volunteer (or 2) are needed to help coordinate food donations from families and oversee parent volunteers week to week.
