Volunteers
If there is anyone who feels they might like to help in any way, please feel free to do so. We can never have too many volunteers! Every year, family emergencies can develop and there is always a need for someone to fill in, even if it is temporarily. If you feel that you would like to help as a catechist or catechist’s assistant, please do not hesitate to contact Sister Nelly at Sisternelly@stmarycathedral.net or 573.3359347. All adult volunteers must be Virtus-complaint through the Springfield-Cape Girardeau Diocese which includes a background check and a 4-hour Virtus Class. Please contact Donna McLain at DonnaMclain@stmarycathedral.net
