WAYS TO VOLUNTEER
For over 120 years, the generosity of our loyal volunteers and the generosity of our ancestors has allowed St. Mary of Gostyn to be a welcoming community rich in faith, education, service and community. When you volunteer at SMG, you directly contribute keeping our tuition costs affordable, and each time you volunteer, you make a difference in our school, our families, our community and the world. Without you, St. Mary of Gostyn would not survive, and we are extremely grateful you share your time and talents to support SMG. Your time is a precious gift to us, and we THANK YOU!

Helping Hands
The birth of a child, a death in the family, an illness, or a catastrophic event can cause the need for assistance. This group helps school families at this time by making meals, providing babysitting, etc. Contact Julie Romenesko joe.romensko@sbcglobal.net if you need help or to volunteer to help others. |

Lunch Supervisors
Parents and relatives are asked to serve as monitors both in the classroom and on the playground during the lunch periods. The monitors volunteer their time. Contact Mary Toth in the School Office (630) 968-6155 if you are interested in helping. |
