Mothers’ Club Volunteer Opportunities

We are always looking for volunteers. It’s fun and provides a special opportunity to give, while getting to know others. If you would like to be on a committee or help out with events, then check out our
Mothers' Club Volunteer page.

We are still in need of Chairs for the Junior Ring Reception and the Mother-Daughter Heart of Gold Treasure Hunt. If interested, please sign up on the volunteer page.

Some of our Fall events that especially need volunteers are the Dress ReSale, Prospective Student Open House and Goodies for Our Girls.

We are also looking for a Grade Level Reps and we are always looking for Hospitality Committee volunteers for general help.

Thanks so much for your special consideration of these.

Hospitality Committee (year round)

Serving the hospitality needs of the school. A simple way to get involved. Throughout the year, moms
are needed to help by providing yummy treats, setting up, serving, and cleaning up at events, such as
STUCO BBQs, parent/teacher conferences, college representative lunch, as well as many other
impromptu events. To be one of our special bakers/buyers or to help with set-up and serving,
contact Marguerite Stewart.

WEL-COMM-UNITY Committee

Bringing a sense of welcoming and community to all Cor Jesu Moms. Building special bonds through planned activities, which focus on mental, physical, social, emotional, and spiritual growth. Also, providing Greeters at Mothers’ Club and Cor Jesu events. Greeters provide a friendly welcome, offer directions, and answering questions to all guests. To volunteer, contact Deanna Violette or Katie Calandro.

Grade Level Reps

We invite moms from each grade level to plan events specific to the parents of that class year. Plan fun informal events to help build community. Gather parents together for a Cor Jesu musical or sporting event, coordinate a fun happy hour, plan a special service project, etc. It's up to your imagination.
To become a Grade Level Rep, contact: Collette Capellupo.

The Marthas (year round)

CJA families may need some additional acts of kindness extended to them because of a difficult time they are experiencing. We share the love of the heart Christ with them through prayers, making meals, lending a helping hand, or sending a kind messages to let them know they are are in our thoughts and prayers. You can join the Cor Jesu prayer chain or offer other special services through this committee. To help, contact Jennifer Shearer.
