Volunteer Opportunities 

The Festival of the Lake cannot be successful without the stewardship of our parishioners.  There are many ways everyone can help.  You can volunteer to be a chairperson of one of the many booths.  Or you can volunteer to work a three-hour shift during one of the days of the Festival of the Lake. The festival requires approximately 1,000 volunteers to staff the three-day event.  Please contact David Andras at 985-630-5275 to join in the effort. You can also email him at dhandras@bellsouth.net
