REGINA COELI PARISH

Mission Week is an incredible experience of faith, fun, friendship, and exactly what it means to serve in the name of the Lord! Each day is filled with work, prayer, Mass, great talks, and time with your friends. Mission Week usually occurs in the third week of June and we join other Parishes from the Diocese. 
Stay in cabins at SNPJ Rec Center (Enon Valley, PA) and travel to work sites in the greater area.
Work in groups of 4-8 teens with college/adult leaders. Worksites include painting, home maintenance, indoor/outdoor cleanup, & help with children at programs for low-income families.
Enjoy free time, bonfires, ultimate frisbee & other sports, a talent show, a pool party, a lakeside pavilion and barn, adoration, prayer, and Mass!

Light of Life Rescue Mission meets the immediate needs of homeless men and women providing meals, shelter and programs, empowering them to transform their lives.
The Mission provides over 200,000 meals annually, including breakfast and dinner seven days a week.  On the third Thursday of every month, up to 6 volunteers from our parish work together with the staff at Light of Life to serve dinner to those staying at the shelter. 
We meet at St. John Neumann at 4pm to carpool to Light of Life and serve there from 4:30 until 6pm.  We return to church by 6:30pm.
If you are interested in participating in this ministry, please email Lale Virostek, [email protected].  

The goal of Safe Families for Children is to keep children safe and Families together. The church and community come together through hospitality, generosity and compassion to mobilize volunteers to advocate for vulnerable children and socially isolated families. SFFC is a volunteer driven organization with few paid staff.  There are several volunteer roles. Host families care for children overnight. Family friends provide transportation, daytime child care, and provide resources such as supplies and meals to host families to name a few services they provide.  Family Coaches support families by monitoring the care of children while in the host home and work with the parents served through resources as needed.

Habitat for Humanity of Beaver County partners with local, moderate income families to help them build a place they can call home.
Our volunteers normally meet every Wednesday from 9:00 AM to approximately 3:00 PM to work on building a new home or restoring an old home.  The minimum age to work on-site is 16 years with their Parents permission.  Since it is on Wednesday the majority of our group are retired men and women, however anyone  is welcome.  You don't have to be experienced, we will teach you the necessary skills.  You just need to be willing to work and get a little dirty.  
In our new homes we normally do everything from siding, fascia and soffit, water supply lines, install fixtures both electrical and plumbing, dry wall, trim work, painting, decks, and some landscaping. We have plenty of tools if you don't have a favorite hammer.   
Depending on the job site we try to carpool from Saint John Neumann or another site on the way to the job site.  To get involved please email Francis at [email protected].
