We need your help

The number of Masses we are able to offer is limited by the availability of stewards. Stewards show people to their seats and clean the church after the Mass. Thank you to those who have already stewarded and noted that it is a very rewarding ministry. 

We are looking for more volunteers. 
​
If you are able to help, anywhere from weekly to occasionally, then please click the button below. You must be registered on the parish database to volunteer.

What does a Steward do?

  • Arrives 20 minutes before Mass starts
  • Registers or ‘checks-in’ Parishioners
  • Checks attendees (over 11 years old) wear a face mask and sanitise their hands, on arrival and on leaving the Church
  • Show attendees where their seats can be found
  • Help show attendees the way to go to receive Holy Communion 
  • Helps sanitise and clean those seats used, after Mass finishes, using the materials provided
  • Masks and protective gloves are provided in each church
​

ChurchSuite for Stewards

The following is intended to help you use ChurchSuite to volunteer to steward at a specific Mass and to ‘Check In’ Mass Attendees when they arrive. THANK YOU!

Please remember the personal data held within ChurchSuite should not be used for any other purpose other than for volunteering as a Steward, or to check in Parishioners who have registered for Mass.

We are using ChurchSuite to allow parishioners to sign up to attend Mass.
For more information about how parishioners are being invited to sign up for Mass, please visit: www.cpg.church/mass
For the Mass that you have volunteered to steward you will have been assigned as “overseer” on the event. What that means is that you will be able to see who has signed up for the Mass and whether have signed up as an individual or couple or as a family. This will allow you to welcome those who are attending the Mass and plan where those parishioners are going to sit. You will be able to access this information by logging to myChurchSuite.

Logging in to myChurchSuite

Please download the ChurchSuite App. You can download it from either the App Store for iOS devices (iPhone or iPad) or on Google Play for Android devices.

​Mass Check-In System

The List of Those Attending the Event

Once you have logged in to myChurchSuite click on “My Events”. If you are logging in on your phone click the three lines in the top left to access the menu bar and then click “My Events”.
Then scroll down and under the heading Events, click on Mass you are “overseeing” if you can see it under “Featured events”. Alternatively, click the date on the calendar.
On the next screen in the top-right, you should see a button that says “Check-In”. If you cannot see this button, it means you have not been assigned as an overseer for this Mass. If you expect to be overseer for this Mass and you are not overseer then please contact office@cpg.church and you will be added.
​It will now present an alphabetical list of everyone who has signed up to the Mass. You will also be able to see who has signed up for a “family” ticket or a “couple or individual” ticket.

Checking In

​To check parishioners in all you need to do is click on the name of the person you are “checking in”. It will pop up with a box – click “Check-In”.
How to volunteer

Ministries & Rotas

Once you have logged in to myChurchSuite click on “Ministries & Rotas”. If you are logging in on your phone click the three lines in the top left to access the menu bar and then click “Ministries & Rotas”
​Under “Rotas” click on “Stewards”.
You will now be able to see the schedule for the next couple of weeks.
Each box of the schedule corresponds with a date. Please ignore the time “1:00am” – that is just there by default and does not reflect the time of Mass. Under each date it tells you the time and place of the Mass that is being offered in the parish, including the number of Stewards needed for each Mass indicated in brackets.
If you are down for a date that you can no longer help with then please contact Sandy at office@cpg.church

How to Volunteer to Steward at a Mass

If you would like to volunteer for a Mass, then under the date click the green “Sign up”.
This will pop up with a dialogue box.
​Click on the church you would like to serve at. Make sure Mass is happening on that day at that Church! This will change the church name purple.
Be careful that there are not more than 3 stewards for each Mass.
St Joseph's times are now 10am, Sat 6pm and Sun 5pm
The click on “Save Changes”.
This will mean that you have now volunteered to help at that Mass on that day. Please note, you have not signed up for a recurring time and date.
