Hospitality and Safety Mission Team is Seeking New Members
Our parish Hospitality and Safety Mission Team is seeking new members to fill a few critical responsibilities. The most pressing positions would ideally be filled by those with medical experience. Specifically, we need folks with current CPR/AED certifications and those who can help administer our parish’s AED program. We would like to have one or two trained medical personnel at each of our Masses, so please prayerfully consider if this could be an opportunity for you to serve our parish. If you are interested in joining this mission team or would simply like to discuss what's involved, please contact Dominic D’Ambrosi and Patrick O’Brien, mission team co-chairs, at hospitality@garrettstpeter.com.
