Parish Community

Parish Community Life (PCL) 
Parish Community Life is a special event planning committee. They plan multiple celebrations each year depending on the interests of the parish. Past events include Fall Festival, Mardi Gras Party, Golf Tournament, and Feast Day Parish Picnics. If you like planning parties, decorating the social hall, or fundraising, join PCL today. 

Coffee and Donuts  
The Coffee and Donuts team sets up tables, makes coffee, and offers pastries for a social after Sunday Masses. The team also cleans up following the event. 

1st Saturday Social  
This monthly social is offered by the parish on the first Saturday of the month after the 5 pm Saturday Mass. The social event team coordinates, decorates, and cleans up these events.  

Arimathean Funeral Ministry
In honor of St. Joseph of Arimathea’s dedication to our Lord after his crucifixion, the Arimathean Ministry’s focus is on the celebrations of funerals. Volunteers are needed especially for planning receptions after the funeral, which includes providing food, set-up, and tear-down in the Social Hall. Needs are based on requests by the bereaved family. 

Panera Pickup  
Volunteers are needed to pick up various breads, rolls, and sweet treats on Saturday nights at 9:50 pm from the Panera on 21st Street in Ghent and deliver to Blessed Sacrament on Sunday mornings by 8:30 am.  

Building and Grounds 
The Building and Grounds team is made up of individuals willing to help with general facility upkeep including painting, changing light bulbs, light construction, and snow removal.
