For Large Groups:
For the lunch shift, we need 6 volunteers to help the shift run smoothly. We understand that larger school groups and other organizations would like the opportunity to serve together. For these groups we can accommodate 8-10 volunteers. For more information on scheduling a large group, please contact our Volunteer and Development Coordinator at chollier@catholicservice.org.

A note of cameras and smart phones:
We ask that all volunteers help us respect the confidentiality of our patrons. If you plan to use a camera or video recorder (or any recording device, including a smart phone) during your time of volunteering, please only take photos or videos of yourself and/or the group of which you are a part. Please do not take photos or videos of patrons. If you have any questions regarding your volunteer service with us please contact our Volunteer and Development Coordinator at chollier@catholicservice.org.

Parking:
St. Joseph Diner is located at 613 W. Simcoe Street, Lafayette 70501. Volunteers may park in the lot adjacent to the Diner, where the blue dumpster is. The lot is located across from the church. The single glass door on the right has a doorbell to ring upon arrival.

Please sign up in the vestibule (welcome area) if you are interested in participating in this ministry.  Even if the list is full for the dates, if interested, sign up on the open volunteer sheet.  If enough people are interested in this ministry we will form a committee under stewardship to regularly participate in this wonderful ministry.
