Altar Servers
Deacon Tim Killmeyer will conducting training for new Altar Servers at Holy Trinity Church on Saturdays, April 22 - May 20, from 1:00 - 2:00 PM. Children in grades 4-12 are invited to attend. The training will prepare them to serve at all three AGP churches, depending on their availability. For more information, please contact Jim Schweinberg at 412-787-2140 x114 or [email protected].

BINGO
The AGP BINGO is in need of volunteers to work as callers and cashiers one night a month. BINGO takes place every Monday night at Weirauch Hall on the St. Malachy Campus. Doors open at 5:00 PM. If interested, please contact Patty at [email protected].

Communion Ministers for the Homebound
Once again our parish is making a request for volunteers to step forward so we can meet the demand for our homebound members who desire to receive the Holy Eucharist. Following the restrictions of the pandemic, we lost a number of Communion ministers, and now as we are building up the list again, find that we are in short supply of them. Please consider spending a little time to share in this important work. Currently we have divided the Sunday visits into several zones for certain areas of the parish, as well as having a number of individual visits that can be made anytime during the week.
Deacon Tim has agreed to train anyone who is new to the ministry. Current Extraordinary Ministers who are assisting at Mass only are welcome to join in the mix as well. For more information, or to volunteer, email Cindy Laquinta, our homebound ministry coordinator, at [email protected].

Farmers Market
The Robinson Farmers Market, a ministry of Archangel Gabriel Parish, needs volunteers on Mondays, beginning June 5, to help with a variety of tasks, including set up (1:00 - 3:00 PM) and clean up (7:00 - 8:00 PM). The Market is open from 3:00 - 7:00 PM. If interested, please contact Bonnie Amendola, Robinson Farmers Market Manager, at [email protected].

Hospitality Volunteers
We need warm, inviting people to help plan monthly socials after Mass. If a ministry of welcoming sounds like something for you, please contact Natasha Alejandro-Sutt at [email protected].
