Volunteers

- The Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels welcomes Volunteers from all walks of life and a variety of cultural backgrounds. Men and women, students and seniors make an important contribution to the Cathedral and to our community. The Volunteers aspire to create and sustain the Cathedral's vision of hospitality, enlightenment, inspiration and outreach. Volunteer programs serve our home parish, our community, and the entire Los Angeles Archdiocese.
- Volunteer Program
  
  The Volunteer Program is designed as a total unit which includes all of the Cathedral's Volunteers, regardless of age. There is one application package, general orientation, and one set of standards for both students and adults.
  
  At the orientation meeting Volunteers are given an overview of the Cathedral and its mission and are encouraged to ask questions. Volunteer Services places the Volunteer in a service assignment based on interests, skills, availability, and the needs of the Cathedral.
  
  Volunteers serve in many capacities to meet the needs of a wide variety of activities. For example:
Ways we serve:
- Community Outreach
  Through ministries that help the homeless and recent immigrants, that help at-risk youths and those who wish to quit gang membership, and that bring the word of God to the imprisoned. Plans are being developed for additional ministries to the elderly, to the bereaved, to the hospitalized and shut-ins.
- Education Outreach
  Through teaching and hospitality ministries, such as, tour volunteers, lecturers and docents, who are committed to educating the Roman Catholic community and the general public about the history, role, architectural and artistic components, and mission of the Cathedral.
- Administrative Services
  Through services that include clerical assistants, computer experts, receptionists, as well as, information desk and gift shop volunteers.
- Liturgical Ministries
