Liturgy:
Offers parishioners the opportunity to minister to the parish at Mass as Eucharistic Ministers, Lectors and Servers. The Liturgy Committee meets 2 to 3 times a year to plan liturgies for the up-coming Liturgical Seasons. There is a decorating group that actually decorates the church for each Liturgical Season. Please make time to consider volunteering in the area of Liturgy.

Music:
Traditional Choir: A choir that leads congregational singing at the 9 am Sunday Mass on alternate weekends. Some members also sing for funerals. The choir sings service music, traditional and contemporary hymns, and Latin and Polish music for special occasions. The choir rehearses prior to the seasons of Advent/Christmas and Lent/Easter.
Contemporary Choir: A group of women and men that leads congregational singing (accompanied by piano, guitar and flute) at the 9 am Sunday Mass on alternate weekends. The choir sings contemporary songs, traditional hymns and service music. The choir rehearses once a month and prior to Advent/Christmas, Lent/Easter. We welcome youth with vocal and instrumental talents.

Parish Council:
The council consists of seven members. Council meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month. The members discuss parish issues such as maintenance, long and short-term goals, and review committee reports. The council serves to assist the Pastor. The meetings are open to all interested parishioners who want to bring ideas or concerns to the council and Pastor's attention. Term of service is 2 years.

Altar and Rosary Society:
We were established in the early days of the beginning of the parish and we belong to the Archdiocesan Council of Catholic Women (Deanery).  During a typical year we do various charitable works: collect and give to East Side Care Center, Trinity Mission, Catholic Medical Mission, Our Lady of Peace Cancer Home, Appalachia Mission Program and we organize bingo for the residents at the Ramsey County Home. We say the rosary for our deceased members and anyone in the parish who requests it. The money we make from our annual fish fry each Lent is donated to the parish. We do many more projects as well.

Parish Picnic:
Each summer, St. Casimir & St. Patrick has a picnic lunch at St. Patrick. Help is needed to set-up and clean-up.
