Volunteer Opportunities and Mobility Assistance

Religious Education Congress
February 28
, 2008 (Youth Day)
February 29 - March 2, 2008 (Congress days)

Congress could not function without the hundreds of volunteers who give of their time. If you have attended Congress in the past and would like to find out more about becoming a volunteer for our next Religious Education Congress, please consider this your "personal invitation."

We have a need for Workshop Volunteers (both English and Spanish), Eucharist Ministers for the two Closing Liturgies in the Arena, and musicians for the Congress Choir.

For questions or concerns regarding access or mobility to Congress workshops, please see our notes about mobility below.

Eucharistic Ministers (Arena only)

To put on a liturgy in the Arena we need a great many Eucharistic Ministers of the Bread and the Cup. (For Masses held in other venues, Eucharistic Ministers are arranged by the Liturgy Coordinators and not coordinated here. Note: Eucharistic Ministers DO NOT gain free admittance to Congress.)

Mobility Team

If you have any questions or concerns regarding your ability to attend or enjoy RECongress due to handicap access or mobility concerns, please feel free to contact Rob Williams at RECmobility@la-archdiocese.org. RECongress' Mobility Team will be available to help with wheelchair transport, special seating and any access issues within Congress. This is a fairly new program, so any comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated!
