We Need YOU!
Before Saint Mary's can reopen our doors, we need YOU to COMMIT to us! We are in need of volunteers to staff our sacraments and services to ensure the health and safety of our parish community. Please consider filling out the volunteer commitment form below. Our volunteer coordinator will reach out to you with more information regarding scheduling and training.
Please note: Volunteers must not be part of a "vulnerable population" (that is, not over the age of 65; no underlying medical condition such as diabetes; lung disease; undergoing cancer treatment, etc.).

Training:
During Phase 2 of the Archdiocese of Chicago Phased Reopening Plan Saint Mary of the Lake will offer mass, reconciliations, baptisms, funerals, weddings, and private prayer. The safety of parish volunteers and all those participating in our spiritual community is critical. While some procedures and requests may seem extreme, we ask that you cooperate with the requests of the parish and the Archdiocese of Chicago to ensure the safety of our entire spiritual community.
On site training and cross-training for volunteers will occur; however, we ask that you please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the recommendations of the Archdiocese of Chicago. Please note that some of the processes Saint Mary's has adopted will vary from the recommendations, but still remain in full compliance with their request. You will find the relevant documents posted under each sacrament and service.
