PSR Volunteers are a Blessing
In partnership with Saint Raphael Parish, scores of parent volunteers are needed to aid hundreds of children in our parish community grow in the knowledge and practice of their Catholic Faith.
We ask each family to volunteer at least once during the PSR calendar year.
How do I sign up to volunteer?
The Sign Up button above (COMING SOON!) will take you directly to where you can choose from available positions and dates. Please use an email address that you see often as you will be sent an email reminder a few days in advance of your scheduled assignment.
