kitchen angels needed-please consider signing up to volunteer
We appreciate your gift of time and behind the scene work (but God sees!), to ensure that our Parish kitchen is clean and ready for ministries to utilize. You are making a difference and are a great blessing!
Details:
Please arrive during the following hours (8:00- 4:00 p.m.).- Please click below for a Kitchen Angel "duties" list. Ministries and groups are expected to clean the kitchen following events, so your duties should involve just tidying up. If this is not the case, please make the parish office aware.
- This is a great summer volunteer hour opportunity for our SMA kiddos (children under the age of 18, must be accompanied by an adult).
It does not matter which day of the week you choose. We choose a day for the Sign-Up Genius to work, but you do not need to volunteer on a Monday.
Thank you for all you do for our St. Michael parish family!
Questions? Contact Desiree Greco, Parish Life Coordinator, (913)402-3969 or [email protected], with any questions or concerns.

LIFE TEEN Dinners
This time of community is important for fellowship and to kick off the Life Teen evening in a welcoming, fun way. Life Night begins with dinner as that's where Jesus often encounters those that he was ministering too. These dinners are intentional in being as much of a family dinner environment as possible and having a home cooked meal infuses the start of our night with the of our Life Teen community. Please consider volunteering and cooking dinner. For more information and/or to sign up, click below: -
