Do you attend the 5:30pm Sunday Mass? Would you be willing to serve as an usher a few months out of the year? We are looking to fill a specific void in our usher schedule and create a team (3+ people) who would usher at the Sunday 5:30pm Masses in February, June & October. Training is provided and it’s a wonderful way to serve. Contact Veronica in the parish office to learn more.
 
If you can usher at other Masses, we could use help on those usher teams, too! Again, contact Sue to learn more.
 

As you may have noticed already, Fr. John and Fr. Jim have been inviting children to bring food donations to the altar during the presentation of the gifts during Mass. This is a practice that was paused during COVID, and we are grateful to be able to resume it finally!

After taking 2 years off due to the pandemic, we're very excited to be returning to the Steubenville Youth Conference at Franciscan University this

This summer, all high school teens are invited to join us for Alpha Youth, a series that explores the basics of Christian faith.
 
We'll be meeting on Thursday evenings from 7:00 - 9:00pm. Each session will consist of dinner, a video, and conversation.
 
Alpha Youth is created to provide a judgment-free space for teens to wrestle with some of life's biggest questions, so no prior belief or knowledge is necessary. 
 
There is no cost to attend, and no pressure to return - although we hope you will!
Drop-ins are welcome, but you can RSVP to help us plan for dinner at standrewsaline.org/alpha-youth

Would you offer a neighbor a ride to Mass or help them with a Spring chore?
 
Helping Hands is a new St. Andrew Parish ministry to connect parish members in need of
simple assistance with fellow parishioners who are willing to provide a helping hand. 
 
Please note: we will do our very best to match parish members with a parishioner to fulfill the service need, but we cannot guarantee a response to all requests.
 
Fr. John invites each one of us to find ways to be Jesus to others. Here’s a great opportunity!
 
St Andrew is collecting a list of parish volunteers who would be willing to Help a Neighbor. Once you sign up, you will be contacted by St. Andrew Helping Hands to finish the registration. When a request for help is received, you will be contacted AND if you’re available your part is to Help Your Neighbor. 
 
Volunteer Sign Up is Easy!  Visit standrewsaline.org/HelpingHands
