Volunteering at Holy Redeemer Parish
There are many ways to get involved.
Volunteering fulfills our basic call from Christ: “Whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for Me,” (Matthew 25: 40). Contribute in stewardship by giving a gift of your time, talent, and treasure.
Safe Environment Training
If you are (age 18+) volunteering for any of Holy Redeemer's faith formation programs and have direct contact with youth, it is Archdiocesan policy that you are Safe Environment compliant. Please visit VirtusOnline.org to register for a Safe Environment Program class or to check on your status. If you have any questions, please contact the Faith Formation office.
Consider this your gateway to giving back to the community. Safe environment training must be renewed every three years.

+Parish Pilgrim Lady
This is a program for our Blessed Virgin Mother, where her statue visits one home each week during the year (52 weeks). Hosting the statue reinforces our faith and gives us the opportunity to pray and trust Our Lady during the difficult times that our nation and the world face today. We kindly ask that you do your best to limit yourself to one week per year so that all may benefit from Our Lady's presence in their home. If however, no one has signed up for the very next week and you have recently hosted the Pilgrim Lady-by all means feel free to sign up again (NOTE: the system will prevent you from hosting her more than 2 times per year). Sometimes people have to cancel on short notice and Our Lady gets very lonely and bored sitting in a dark box in the Narthex for a week!!! Sign up here.
