If you would like to volunteer at Assumption Parish School or in programs with minors or vulnerable adults, you must be in complete compliance with the St. Louis Archdiocese Safe Environment Program before you are allowed to volunteer in any capacity. Volunteering opportunities include classroom parties, filed trips, coaching, etc.  
 
          Please go to the Safe Environment page of our website to see the requirements that need to be completed to be in compliance.   

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! Can you help us?

For our weekend Masses, we are assembling "Assumption Pestilence Response Teams"
for each Mass time! We need lots of help in order to keep the inside of the church as safe,
social-distanced, and sanitized as possible for each congregation that pours in for Mass.
If you can assist us for the Mass you wish to attend, please email Deacon Dave Schaefer at schaeferd@assumptionstl.org. Or, you can ask Brenda (she'll have a nametag!), our
parish coordinator of the Pestilence Response Team, at any of these Masses about where
she needs more volunteers!

Positions we need:

Mass Captains- 1 person to supervise the Pestilence Response Team and pitch in where needed

Social Distancing Guides- 3 people to direct Mass attendees to open seats
and instruct them on our safety guidelines

Mask Angel - 1 person to provide masks as needed to those who do not have one,
as well as move a cart with spray and masks to the front of the cry room

Basket Brigade - 6 people to help with the collection baskets

Sprayers - 8 people to spray down a couple of pews with disinfectant following Mass
to prepare for the next congregation

 
Gardeners Wanted: 
 

Assumption needs some new gardeners! Right before the world fell apart in the pandemic, our parishioners and faithful gardeners, Brenda and Mary Ann, regretfully informed us that they will not be able to fully care for their   beloved Assumption gardens this year. They each have done a ton of work and we have been so blessed to have them, but their health makes keeping up with the gardens difficult this year. So, if you want to help, please contact Fr. Keller and we can find a section of garden that you would feel comfortable caring for this year! He is sure that Mary Ann and Brenda will be happy to offer advice to help you tell the difference between a weed and a flower as this spring is taking off so beautifully. Email Fr. Keller at Kellert@assumptionstl.org or call him at 314-487-7970, extension 1202.
 

Painters Wanted:

 
This spring offers us an unprecedented opportunity to paint while the school is empty. Unlike the old days, our school building is usually in use all but two weeks a year. So, while St. Louis County has mandated school and day-care closures, we are going to paint everything! Painters will be working alone in different rooms so we can social distance, and painters can come in as they want during business hours so that they can work at their own pace. Adults only. If you are interested in helping, email Fr. Keller at Kellert@assumptionstl.org or call him at 314-487-7970, extension 1202. Or, contact Mike Meyer at 314-604-8127.
 
 

Lawncare Volunteers Wanted:

 Assumption has a lot of grass to cut and we are looking for additional volunteers to mow and edge on Wednesday afternoons. Currently we are “social distancing”, so mowers are spread out on Wednesdays and meet around 3 p.m. and cut a section. If you love to ride or push a mower or run an edger, email Fr. Keller at Kellert@assumptionstl.org or call him at 314-487-7970, extension 1202. Or, give Ken Dunn a call at 314-406-0511.
