Welcome, and thank you for stepping forward to serve the community here in Knocklyon. Whether you are a long-time parishioner or a newcomer to the area, your decision to volunteer is a vital contribution to the life and spirit of St. Colmcille’s.

The parish is more than just a building; it is a vibrant, living community of faith and every person who lends their time helps us build a more welcoming and supportive environment for all.

Purpose of this Induction

This course is designed to provide you with a solid foundation as you begin your journey with us. Our goal is to ensure that you feel informed, confident, and supported in your role.

Why Your Role Matters

In a large parish like Knocklyon, it is easy to think that small tasks go unnoticed. However, the reality is that the "Church" functions because of the diverse talents of its people.

By volunteering, you are not just "helping out"—you are participating in the mission of the Church and helping St. Colmcille’s remain a "home away from home" for thousands of families.

As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God’s varied grace.
–– 1 Peter 4:10

What to Expect

This induction will take approximately 30 to 45 minutes and the system will keep track of your progress throughout and pick up where you left off. On completion of the induction, we will follow up with you and answer any questions you might have about the content of the course.

Thank you again for your generosity of heart. We are delighted to have you with us!
