Each Spring, the entire parish works together to put on our Spring Fling, which is usually held in early May just before Mother’s Day. Rides, games, food, auctions, and gently-used books, household items, and clothing sales take lots of coordination and effort, but is well worth it for the the sense of community and good times that are had!  This is also a major fundraiser for our parish. Work continues throughout the year to plan this event and engage as many parishioners as possible.

Grab your family and friends and join us at the most FUN event you’ll find in the beautiful and bucolic Long Green Valley!

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

We need VOLUNTEERS to make the Spring Fling a success!
Sign Up to Volunteer Here!

or contact Todd Depew at tdepew1@gmail.com to sign up – even for just a few hours! 

In accordance with Archdiocese of Baltimore policies, and in an effort to ensure that all who attend and volunteer are safe, ALL adult volunteers must register in the online volunteer registry found at www.virtusonline.org. 

Only adults who have undergone additional background screening and training beyond the basic registry are permitted to volunteer with minors. If you yourself are a MINOR under the age of 18, the process/application to volunteer at SJE is NOT through Virtus; it is different. Minors should contact Colleen Sisolak before signing up, as there are very limited areas in which minors may volunteer. Please contact the parish office at 410-592-6206 and ask for Jenn Ehrlich (ext. 104) or email ehrlichje@sjehydes.org or Colleen Sisolak (ext. 108) or email youthministry@sjehydes.org with any volunteer status questions.
