Information about the Daughters of Mary

How to Join

To join Daughters of Mary, please use the volunteer contact form to let our Volunteer Coordinator know you are interested. She will then give your contact information to the DOM leads Judy and Danita.

Sign-Up Genius

We do not have meetings, because everyone's schedule is different.  All sign-ups are made through a system called the
sign-up-genius. You help when you can and if you cannot assist, we ask for your prayers that those who can assist will step forward.  

After completing the volunteer contact form, you will need to create an account in the sign-up-genius program, then we will enter your contact information for our DOM group.  Afterward, you will receive e-mails only when there is a need.  
 

We have listed the areas where the DOM assists below:

Funeral Receptions:  The DOM provides all the food, clean-up....for the family at the church free of charge.  This is coordinated by the Church Funeral Coordinators with the family as to what type of reception is requested, time, day, etc.  We are given a heads up as soon as coordination begins to give as much time as possible to plan. 

Silent Auctions:  We have a huge silent auction which has morphed into “Briarfest” a three day event.  Numerous hours are spent requesting donations, follow-ups, and picking up from local companies.  Individuals donate a completed theme basket, or if someone doesn’t have enough for a basket they donate some items and we put the baskets together.  Tax exempt sheets for all donations are provided.  The baskets are on display for 2-3 days which requires many, many volunteers to keep watch at different shift times.   

Ministry Fair:  This is usually a couple of times a year - try to assist with a volunteer providing information about the Daughters to potential new members when enough lead time is given to obtain volunteers. 

RCIA: Often Judy & I are requested to speak to the group about the DOM, again when enough lead time is given by Deacon Mike.     

Meals:  When a family has an illness, hospitalization, down on their luck….. We will provide meals for the family as needed.  Often this is through word of mouth, or from the church office.  Once we get the call, we will let everyone know how many they are feeding and if there are any meal restrictions/dislikes, time of requested delivery…...we will not reveal what the problem is unless the family states it is ok to let everyone know. Once all of the meals are scheduled the specific information about the family is only sent to the individuals who signed up - to protect their privacy.  We request you state the type of meal that will be provided when sign-up occurs. This will keep from having a duplication of the same meal consecutively.
