Ministries

The St. Vincent de Paul ministry is a dedicated group of volunteers who are committed to serving those in need in the local community. Inspired by the teachings of Christ and the example of St. Vincent de Paul, the ministry strives to bring love, compassion, and hope to those who are struggling.

In addition to direct services provided, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul offers a variety of opportunities for volunteers to get involved and make a difference.  Six times per year we cook and serve a community meal, serving over 1200 meals last year. We also pack and distribute backpacks to needy children, provide Easter and Thanksgiving meal baskets, provide personal care items to the needy, and provide Christmas presents to senior citizens in nursing homes.  Volunteers provided over 3900 hours of work the last fiscal year.

The ministry believes that every person is deserving of love, respect, and dignity. They are committed to serving all members of the community, regardless of their background or circumstances. Anyone who is looking for a way to make a meaningful impact in the world and live out their faith in action is welcome to join the St. Vincent de Paul ministry.

Board Members: Noreen Lozano, President, Angie Jasso, Vice President, Kim Epperson Vice President of Assistance, Judy Fitzpatrick, Treasurer, Jody Juchniewicz, Secretary

Perpetual Adoration is a Eucharistic devotion whereby we unite in taking hours of adoration before the Most Blessed Sacrament both during the day and throughout the night, seven days a week. This is a great way to spend some time one on one with the Lord, encountering the Lord of all the universe who humbles himself and appears to us in our midst. This is also a great opportunity to intercede for your needs, the needs of your family, our parish, Bay county, our country and our world. Through perpetual adoration members of our parish storm the gates of heaven asking for a renewed encounter with the Lord and a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Click here to commit to an hour every week to come and adore the Eucharistic Lord!

Welcome to the St. Dominic Catholic Church Kitchen Ministry!

Peace be with you! My name is Pam Elmore, and I have the great joy and responsibility of serving as the Kitchen Manager here at St. Dominic. I warmly welcome you to this sacred space of service—the heart of our parish, the kitchen.

Your decision to serve in this ministry is a beautiful witness to your faith and generosity. In Scripture, we are reminded that “whoever serves, let it be with the strength that God supplies, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ” (1 Peter 4:11). What we do here is more than preparing food—it is a ministry of hospitality, nourishment, and love. Through the sharing of meals, we build up the Body of Christ, foster fellowship, and extend the compassion of our Lord to all who enter our parish.

Each act of service in this kitchen, no matter how small, becomes a prayer and offering to God. We follow the example of Christ, who came not to be served, but to serve (cf. Matthew 20:28), and we do so with humility, joy, and a spirit of unity.

Thank you for offering your time and talents in this important ministry. Your presence here is a blessing, and I look forward to growing together in faith as we serve our parish family.

If you have any questions or need support in your role, please don’t hesitate to reach out. You can contact me at (850) 819-2440 or by email at kitchen@saintdominicpc.com.

In the love and service of Christ,
Pam Elmore
Kitchen Manager

Bienvenido(a) al Ministerio de Cocina de la Parroquia San Domingo

Estimado(a) voluntario(a):

Reciba un cordial saludo en Cristo. Mi nombre es Pam Elmore y tengo el honor de desempeñarme como Coordinadora de la Cocina en la Parroquia St. Dominic. Es un verdadero gusto darles la más cordial bienvenida a este ministerio tan especial, que constituye uno de los corazones del servicio parroquial: La Cocina.

Agradezco profundamente su disposición y generosidad al integrarse a este equipo dedicado, cuya labor va mucho más allá de la preparación de alimentos. Servir en la cocina es un acto de amor y entrega, una manera concreta de responder al llamado del Señor a vivir el servicio como una forma de vida. Tal como nos enseña la Palabra de Dios: “El que sirve, hágalo con la fuerza que Dios le da, para que en todo sea glorificado Dios por medio de Jesucristo” (1 Pedro 4,11).

Mediante este ministerio, no solo se satisfacen necesidades físicas, sino que también se fortalece la comunión, se construye comunidad y se transmite la caridad cristiana a través del compartir fraterno. Cada gesto de servicio, por más pequeño que parezca, es una expresión del amor de Cristo y una manifestación concreta del Evangelio en acción.

Les agradezco sinceramente el haber ofrecido su tiempo y sus talentos para el bien de nuestra parroquia. Su presencia es verdaderamente valiosa, y me alegra contar con su apoyo en esta noble tarea.

Si en algún momento necesita orientación o tiene alguna duda, no duden en comunicarse conmigo. Puede contactarme al (850) 819-2440 o escribirme aa mi correo electrónico: kitchen@saintdominicpc.com. 

En el amor y servicio de Nuestro Señor Jesucristo,
Pam Elmore
Coordinadora de la Cocina
Parroquia St. Dominic

From the moment people drive onto our parish campus, we want them to know they are loved, welcome, and wanted - whether a longtime St. Dominic parishioner or a first-time visitor. Our Hospitality Team is often the first face someone encounters when they come to Mass or attend a St. Dominic event. Our Hospitality Team members offer warm smiles, shake hands, and hold doors for all visitors and guests. They also help keep our liturgies flowing beautifully by assisting during the Offertory and Communion. These team members (usually wearing our signature name tags) are easily identifiable and can help answer questions and direct guests wherever they need to go.

Please complete this short questionnaire if interested in joining our Hospitality Team!

Adventures in Marriage: Learn How To Be Married

Adventures in Marriage (AIM) is internationally recognized as one of the very best relationship education programs in the field.  Most couples do not know “how” to be married.  They never learned the right way to build a strong marriage that will last.  Instead they grew up watching unhealthy relationships and then assumed somehow their marriage would turn out different.

Adventures in Marriage is a FREE and highly interactive program that teaches couples the practical “hands on” skills essential to build a healthy, thriving marriage that can go the distance.  AIM helps couples discover better ways to meet one another’s needs, communicate, resolve conflicts, express anger, avoid dirty fighting, and understand how their personality styles impact relationships for better or worse.

Fun, practical, and easy to learn, Adventures in Marriage is appropriate for couples at any age or stage. AIM is designed to reach couples across the spectrum – it helps couples with good marriages discover how to have a great marriage, and it helps distressed marriages reboot and learn a much better way.

To learn more and register for the next AIM, click here. There is no cost for this program.
