As our parish continues to focus on the Catholic Social Teaching, Call to Family, COMMUNITY and Participation, there are some fun opportunities for our parishioners to volunteer for upcoming community events.
5K Race to benefit Veteran’s - VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Volunteers are needed for the Agent Orange Awareness 5K Run/Walk on Saturday, August 24. St. Thomas a’Becket has sponsored this event for the last few years. This year as our Parish Community focuses on Call to Family, Community and Participation we are helping organizers recruit volunteers to help out on the course as race marshals, at water stations and at the starting and finishing line. Proceeds from the race will benefit the Ann Arbor Fisher House to provide cost-free lodging to families and caregivers for Veterans and active-duty service members receiving care at the VA Health Systems in Ann Arbor; and, for art classes and events for veterans and active-duty service members in our community.
The race starts and finishes at the Village Arts Factory in Cherry Hill. Volunteers are needed from 8 a.m. – 12 noon. To sign up to help out with the race please register at https://www.signupgenius.
