Administrative Volunteers Administrative Volunteers are at the heart of helping St. Pius X remain good stewards of the resources entrusted to the parish. Different roles and skill levels are needed to assist the parish with its operations. Volunteers are needed periodically for projects like mail-outs, stuffing bulletins, and substituting for receptionists. Or, for those who would like to play a more active role by committing 4 hours each week, we would love the opportunity to visit with you about serving in one of the receptionist shifts (4 hours each week – either 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. or 2 p.m. – 6 p.m.). For more information, please contact: Leah Schmidt, Receptionist Coordinator, at 337-232-4656 or [email protected] Extraordinary Eucharistic Ministers, Homebound Extraordinary Eucharistic ministers bring the Holy Communion to parishioners not able to attend Mass. They also inform the Pastor when the homebound want to see a priest. For more information, contact Mrs. Evelyn Landry @ 337-288-5719 or [email protected]. Extraordinary Eucharistic Ministers, Nursing Homes This ministry administers Holy Communion to the residents for all the nursing homes and assisted living communities within the St. Pius X boundaries. For more information, contact Mr. Jesse Gary @ 337-233-2110 or [email protected] or Mrs. Evelyn Landry @ 337-288-5719 or [email protected]. Family Promise of Acadiana Family Promise of Acadiana’s mission is to shelter, to serve and to teach homeless families to learn self-sufficiency, achieve self-independence and to end the homeless cycle in their lives. By furnishing sleeping accommodations and a “hospitality room” where guests relax, socialize, do homework, or watch television, homeless families sleep up to 1 week at the parish and are provided an evening meal, breakfast and a bagged lunch. Volunteers are needed to prepare for the guests arrival and provide them with warmth and hospitality. Hospitality Ministry (Newcomers) Mrs. Angela Fangue heads up this worthwhile ministry while working closely with the Church Staff. She makes contact with all new parishioners to welcome them to the Parish. For more information, you may reach her @ 337-269-0919 or [email protected]. Knights of Columbus For more information including contact information for the Grand Knight, visit the Knights of Columbus Council #8901 web page. Live Stream/Media Volunteers Live Stream/Media Volunteers would play an important role in helping to bring the Word of the Lord to parishioners who are homebound, in the hospital, or can’t physically attend Mass. As you know, St. Pius X’s technology efforts played a vital role during the Coronavirus pandemic. You don’t have to be gifted in using audio and video technology, just a desire to learn and willingness to serve the parish in this capacity. Volunteers could serve a couple hours each week on an ongoing basis, or periodically as a substitute. For more information, please contact: John Ray Perkins at 337-232-4656 or [email protected]. Nursing Home Visitation This ministry consists of several parishioners who visit the nursing homes within St. Pius Church boundaries. The nursing homes and assisted living communities are Maison de Lafayette, Cornerstone Village, Kingsley Place, Garden View, Rosewood Retirement Community, The Blake and Cedar Crest. For more information, please contact Mrs. Becky Greig @ 337-988-3234 or [email protected]. Pius Promise This ministry assists with the needs of single or homeless mothers and their babies.
