Parents needed

Help Make This Pilgrimage Possible

We are recruiting two parent leaders now. Other parents will still be able to help with individual projects and events as plans take shape.

Weekly for now

Fundraising Chair

Work with Rence and the parish office to brainstorm, schedule, organize, and follow through on fundraising opportunities. The cadence can ease once the initial plan is established.

About once a month

WYD Trip Coordinator

Help coordinate local logistics, family communication, and preparation not handled directly by Verso, with more meetings as the pilgrimage approaches.

Interested in either role? Read the role overview, then email, call, or text Rence to start a conversation.
