HISTORY / ART APPRECIATION
The DOCENTS and TOUR GUIDES are responsible to assist visitors of the National Shrine and to provide tours when requested. The docent is available in the church and is there
to answer question if possible, while helping maintain a prayful atmosphere in our
Church. They are a person who appreciates the beauty of Shrine Church and helps our guests and visitors to do the same. A Tour Guide is needed to assist in prearranged tours. Training will be provided for both of these volunteer opportunities. They usually volunteer 3 hours once or twice a month and attend an organizational meeting once a year.
The BRASS POLISHERS are a group of people who polish and care for the numerous brass items and gates at Shrine. They also polish the tables and extra items used at special times during the Church season. The volunteer would typically meet their group in the Chapel and decide what area they would work on that day. You may stay as long as you like and come in as often as you like. A great way to get “up close and personal “ with the many beautiful art works in the parish. They meet after the 8:30 am Mass on Mondays in the St. Therese Chapel.
