Parish  Organizations and Volunteers

Art and Environment Committee

The Art and Environment Committee is responsible for preparing the environment in church for the Liturgical Seasons which includes preparing the liturgical spaces for worship. Contact the parish office at 419-865-2345.


Bingo

Bingo provides a friendly atmosphere that encourages the customer to come and share an afternoon of fun playing a game that all enjoy. A result of providing this service is income that assists the parish in meeting some of its financial obligations. Bingo is played weekly on Thursdays in the Church Basement with doors opening at 10:00 am. There are two sessions, Lightning and Regular. Lightning (fast) bingo is played 11:00 am to 12:50 pm. Regular bingo starts at 1:00 pm and is over at approximately 3:30 pm. Regular bingo consists of nineteen regular games, four specials, coverall, and bonanza. There is a staff of dedicated volunteers that come each week to conduct the games. While some work in all areas, the tasks are divided in two basic parts: The kitchen staff provides a delicious lunch that is enjoyed by the customer and the floor staff handles the operation and running of the games. Contact the parish office at 419-865-2345.
