There is a saying that many hands make light work. At Our Lady of Lourdes, that is certainly true — but volunteering here is about so much more than lightening the load. It is about belonging. About playing your part in something that matters. About giving your time and your talents in service of God and of the community you are part of.
Whether you have an hour a month or a regular slot to offer, whether you are confident and experienced or simply willing to give something a go — there is a place for you here.
Every role in our parish, however large or small, is an act of faith. And every volunteer makes our community stronger, warmer and more alive.
To find out more about any of the roles below, please email the parish office at acton@rcdow.org.uk.
