Volunteering for a Mission of Mercy is an incredible
experience you will likely never forget! To accomplish
our goals, we plan to do the following at LaMOM:
Louisiana Mission of Mercy provides free dental care for
low-income adults and children. You can choose to work one
half day, one whole day or both days. We will also need help
with setup and take down. Volunteers must be 18 years of age
but DO NOT have to be dental professionals. There are plenty
volunteer opportunities for everyone!
Volunteers are
needed in all areas, regardless of dental experience. ALL
VOLUNTEERS MUST REGISTER ONLINE AT
www.rsvpbook.com/lamom2016 so that we may prepare
food and shirts (as well as licensure and liability coverage
for doctors and hygienists).

WE WILL NOT BE ABLE
VOLUNTEERS AS WALK-INS.

Prayer for Protection against Storms and
Hurricanes
Our Father in Heaven, through the intercession of
Our Lady of Prompt Succor, spare us during this
Hurricane Season from all harm. Protect us and our
homes from all disasters of nature. Our Lady of Prompt
Succor, hasten to help us. We ask this through Christ our
Lord. Amen.
