The Education Commission coordinates the development, planning and promotion of programs and events that address the religious education needs of the parishioners.

Blessed Sacrament Grade School Volunteers

School volunteers are always welcome to help teachers and staff prepare materials for classes, assist in classrooms and with general clerical tasks. Hours required are your personal preference. For the safety of our children, all volunteers will be subject to background checks.

Parent-Teacher Association (PTA)

All parents of Blessed Sacrament school children are members of this organization. PTA gives parents and the school staff a great communication opportunity. Members help coordinate special projects for the grade school. PTA members are also heavily involved with events such as Fest Quest, hosting brunch for teachers and Rectory staff once a year, Fun Night and hosting donuts after masses. Time required: Officers attend a quarterly board meeting and members attend four, one hour meetings throughout the school year.

Athletic Committee

The committee chairperson helps to organize team schedules, check-in and out team uniforms, schedule concession stand workers, purchase items for concession stand, and works 4 to 5 hrs per week during the volleyball and basketball seasons. Volunteer coaches prepare and lead the school teams in volleyball, track, and basketball. Time required: varies from 1 hour up to 5 hours per week during the sporting season. 

CCD Coordinators & Teachers

Provide religious instruction to the children of our parish who attend public school. Training and materials are provided. Time requirement: one night per week teaching and about two hours prep time during the school year.

Godparents / Godteens

Shape the future by mentoring teens of the parish via the Godparent/Godteen program.  As a couple, give just one hour of your time (plus some prep time) each week making a difference in the lives of our parish teens in a unique opportunity to share your life experiences, wisdom, humor, and Catholic faith in a small group setting. Godparents open their homes to the teens of their group on Wednesday evenings for an hour.  Godparents meet and bond with their group as freshman and continue with them until high school graduation.  Watching them grow, mature, and learn makes for a very  special ministry experience.  How you spend the weekly hour is up to you. 

RCIA – Participants & Sponsors

Doctrine class for people wishing to become Catholic or Catholics interested in learning more about their faith. Classes follow the school year and are about 2 hours long.

Vacation Bible School Helpers

Helps to plan, coordinate and/or volunteer during a one-week summer Vacation Bible School session.

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a religious  formation program based on the Bible and the   Liturgy. Children work in an ‘atrium’, an environment prepared especially for them with simple, yet beautiful materials. These materials enable the child to encounter the living God.
