The Guerin Catholic Parent Guild is a volunteer group that provides informational, organizational, and supportive help to our Guerin community. The Guild has many different committees that support our faculty, students and parents. We raise money throughout the year to support student activities as well as purchase items for teachers that are not always in the budget. We have committees that require help a few times a month and others that need volunteers only once a year. The time commitment is entirely up to each individual. The list below provides details about each committee. Become active in our Guerin community; consider volunteering for a Parent Guild committee. It is a wonderful way to meet parents, students and faculty. Please review below the descriptions of each committee and board position, download the volunteer form and sign up today!
We hold meetings once a month and everyone is welcome to attend. The meeting dates are listed on the “News & Events” tab. We hope to see you there! If you would like more information about the Parent Guild, please contact Joan Eicher @ joan.eicher@gmail.com.
