Leadership & Volunteer Opportunities

It does not matter how effective we may be at providing pastoral care if we do not also have volunteers helping with such things as promoting and organizing events, managing supplies, and most importantly, praying both inside and outside of our parishes. Every person must have the opportunity to share his or her unique gifts, limited only by the guidance of the Holy Spirit!

Below are the current volunteer opportunities for the Pro24 program.

Leadership & Planning

Create or join a Respect Life Committee in your parish or local faith organization
Research current and upcoming local, state, and national legislation related to abortion and sidewalk counseling and communicate with interested members of our diocese.

Pastoral Care

Facilitate parish, school and group presentations on one or more topics related to abortion and sidewalk counseling
Assist with development of additional presentations related to abortion and sidewalk counseling
Organize a team of volunteers to regularly counsel or pray on the sidewalk
Organize a team of volunteers to sign up for a scheduled time during a 40 Days for Life Campaign
Assist with distribution of program materials to parishes and other organizations

Fundraising & Promotion

Participate as a member of a diocesan program fundraising, promotional or event-planning committee
Assist the Respect Life Office with development of promotional materials (e.g. brochures, flyers, posters, etc.) for the Pro24 program

Prayer & Worship

Start or join a parish prayer group. Pastoral care leaders will periodically email or text updates and requests for prayers to parish prayer group leader(s). These communications can then be sent to individual parish email/text list or shared at regularly-scheduled parish prayer group meetings.

To learn more about these opportunities, or to sign-up today, please contact the Respect Life Office or email francis@diocesekcsj.org .
