Volunteer Opportunities
Current Volunteer Needs
Below is a list of current volunteer opportunities. Volunteers are vital to the function of our church and in the community. Please consider donating your time to help others - together we can accomplish so much!
Required Volunteer Training
All volunteers 18 and older are required to complete CMG Connect training annually. This requirement applies regardless of whether or not you work with children. Even if you have completed the training in the past, you must retake training each year. Please read the instructions below. If you have any questions, email or call coordinator Kathy McKinney at (704) 545-1224 ext. 12 or email KathyMcKinney@stlukecatholicminthill.org.
​
Note: If you were previously certified using Protecting God's Children (VIRTUS), contact Kathy McKinney.
Room in the Inn
​
Room in the Inn is an outreach ministry that serves the unhoused from December through March at our Lawyers Road location. Our work begins on Friday nights and ends Saturday mornings. Below are a few ways you and your family can help. If interested, please email RoomInTheInn@stlukecatholicminthill.org.
​
We need:

Innkeepers to monitor the guests overnight
-
Volunteers to donate food
-
Friday evening setup, dinner servers, and cleanup
-
Morning crew to help cook breakfast and clean up afterwards

Friday dinner meal donations.
Family Life Ministry
Our Family Life ministry needs help planning and carrying out fun events for young families. Examples of past events include Bonfire Night, Bingo, Happy Birthday Jesus, and cookie decorating. School-age children look forward to these events, and it gives parents a chance to connect with other families. We hold activities once a month. It takes a small amount of tie, but the payoff is big! If you are interested in joining, please email FamilyLife@stlukecatholicminthill.org.
Cookies for Kairos
Kairos Prison Ministry is heading to Evans Correctional Institution in March to hold a retreat with select inmates. They are asking us to bake cookies for the participants during the retreat. You can bake them now and freeze them, if you like. Drop the cookies off on Saturday, March 7, from 9:00 am - 3:00 pm in the Lawyers Road kitchen. If you have questions, please email Kairos@stlukecatholicminthill.org.
Usher Coordinator
​
If you don’t have much time to give, consider being our Usher Coordinator! Ushers are available to assist parishioners inside the church, ready the church for Mass, and ensure Mass runs smoothly. If interested, please contact Liturgy@stlukecatholicminthill.org.

Jamaica Mission Trip
Agape is seeking volunteers for a six-night mission trip to Kingston, Jamaica from July 14 through July 21. Your days will be filled with prayer, meditation, serving the poor in shelters, reflection, and insights. We'll stay at the Missionaries of the Poor (MOP) monastery. Guest quarters can accommodate up to 10 volunteers, so space is limited. A passport is necessary. The cost is approximately $700 per person. Learn more about volunteering with MOP at https://tinyurl.com/aboutMOP. If interested, please email agape@stlukecatholicminthill.org.
