VOLUNTEERING At St. ANTHONY’S
Welcome to the Directorate
of Volunteers at St. Anthony Shrine. As a Directorate,
we a few years old—thanks to Fr.
David Convertino,
the Guardian and Executive Director of St. Anthony Shrine.
The primary goal in setting up the Directorate rests
in responding in the Franciscan spirit to our downtown
needs. The Directorate aligns its goals with Fr. David’s
and the Shrine’s mission “to heal the wounded,
to unite what is fallen apart and to bring back those
who are
lost.”
To fulfill these goals, we have recruited many
volunteers who help us with our reception, cleaning
and changing of missalettes, development, liturgical
ministry,
hospitality ministry, the Kids’ Program, ESL, Blood Drive
and general events like the distribution of St. Anthony
Bread, palms, and Annual Campaign brochures.
Our 300
plus volunteers represent many cultures and ethnic
backgrounds. Not only do we have Americans amongst this
pool of volunteers
but also people from Central and South America, Haiti,
Uganda, Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, and India,
just to mention a few. As our needs continue to grow,
we continually invite volunteers to join us. Volunteers
join our program for various reasons. These reasons
may include the following:
- To fulfill one’s Christian role to serve God and
others.
- To contribute in the
Franciscan spirit.
- To feel a sense of belonging in the Downtown community.
- To give more than to receive.
As each group or Ministry continues to expand, we
continue to ask for volunteers. We welcome all to apply to become volunteers
at St. Anthony Shrine. If you would like to apply for a position as a volunteer
or would like to know more about volunteering at St. Anthony Shrine, please
