Why I Volunteer

"As much has been given to me, much is expected of me."

Since I joined the Basilica of St. Mary parish, approximately 20 yrs. ago, I felt a need to "become involved". That involvement began, and continues with, St. Vincent de Paul. It now includes numerous other ministries at our Basilica, and the recipient of blessings is ME! The scores of lessons taught to me by homeless persons, as well as the gratification of personal friendships developed among other volunteers and incredible staff have enriched my life invaluably, and I am thankful beyond measure!
