WE NEED YOUR HELP! We are looking for teams of six (6) people to sanitize and disinfect the church immediately following each weekend Mass. Volunteers must be persons whose health is not compromised and who is not at high-risk for COVID-19. Instructions will be provided, along with all cleaning materials. If you do not see six slots listed, that simply means we already have a volunteer or two who have signed on to help after that particular Mass. With six people, disinfecting should not take more than 20-30 minutes. Any questions? Contact Maggie England at 233-6179, or dbq208s2@dbqarch.org. Please review the available slots in the sign-up link (Click on the Picture) and sign up when and where you can. Thank you for your love of our parish community and God Bless!
