St. Zita's Guild:
St. Zita lived in Italy in the 1200’s and was Canonized
in the 1500’s.
She is a
favorite in England, the birth place of the
Anglican
Communion.
St. Zita cared fully for the home of her lord,
while also performing the charitable deeds that led to
her sainthood.
She even convinced others to join her in
unselfish,
compassionate good works.
Last year
we began the formation of St. Zita’s guild.
The guild will be
responsible for making sure that the many chores
that are required to
maintain our parish are performed.
With the reductions in our budget, we have
reduced our paid staff, as a result there is a
need to get projects done by getting volunteers to offer
their talent.
The goal is to get at least one member from each parish
household to join the guild.
Many of the activities are only done occasionally
and require just a little bit of time.
Others are a bit more rigorous.
The volunteer list will be made available to all
the guild members.
The categories include Kitchen, Church Office,
Outside grounds maintenance, Altar preparation, and
custodial duties in the church and parish hall.
We look to emulate St. Zita as we perform the chores
once done by paid help at St. John’s.
In addition to work though we want the guild to
provide fellowship
and fun as well.
For information on joining the guild you can
contact the church office. |
