Q. Must I have a financial need to request volunteers here?

A. It is desirable that those who request volunteers here [including both those posting volunteer request(s) and those responding to volunteering offer(s)] have a financial need. Regular repeat requestors should have a financial need. Remember that there is a finite number of individuals available for volunteering and those who really need assistance may not receive it if those without a real need obtain the services instead. Note: This does not apply to prayer and other spiritual activities which are unrelated to financial need.

Top | Question Summary

Q. Who is the "Submitter"? Who are "users"? Who is the "requestor"? Who is the "volunteer" / "potential volunteer" / "offerer"? Who is the "participant"? Who is the "other party"?, Etc. Which is the responsible party?

A. The term "submitter" refers to the person who submitted a post. The term "user" (or "users" or "participant" or "participants" or "you"/"your" or "visitors" or "visitor" or "individual" or "individuals" or "person" or "persons", etc.) refers to individual(s) using this site (or related materials) and to those who are in any way connected with use of this site (or related materials). The term "requestor" (or "person requesting volunteers") refers to individual(s) / group(s) / organization(s), etc. who may be requesting volunteer(s), whether or not they actually utilize the services of (or request) volunteer(s). The terms "volunteer", "potential volunteer", and "offerer" may be used interchangeably and refer to those offering - or who may indicate to be offering - volunteer services, whether or not they actually perform volunteer work (or offer to volunteer). Note that the terms "requestor", "volunteer", "potential volunteer", etc. are broad terms which apply whether a user submits a post(s) or responds to a post(s), and they apply regardless of the nature of any post/response (e.g. they apply even to any "fake" / "pretend", blank, etc. posts/responses - or any other improper post/response), and they apply regardless of whether or not any volunteer services are ever offered/requested. The term "other party" (or "other parties") may refer to the other party(ies) involved or to the responsible party (e.g. the volunteer / requestor / submitter / offerer, etc.). The term "applicable party" [or "applicable parties" or "party(ies)", etc.] refers to the appropriate party in the context of the item in question. All terms above may be expressed in upper or lower case letters. Note that the terms above may refer to individual(s), organization(s), group(s), etc., as applicable. Note that the various terms (e.g. requestor, volunteer, potential volunteer, offerer, etc.) apply to both those who post volunteer opportunities / offers and to those who respond to volunteer opportunities / offers. The terms "other party" / "applicable party" / "submitter"/ "requestor" / "volunteer" / "potential volunteer" / "participant" / "user" / "visitor" / group / individual / person / organization / "offerer", etc. (whether singular or plural) NEVER refer to us. Each user is responsible for himself / herself. Some users (e.g. requestors / submitters, etc.) may be held responsible / liable for others. We are NOT responsible / liable for ANY individual(s) / user(s) / group(s) / organization(s) / requestor(s) / submitter(s) / volunteer(s), etc. As indicated, by using this site, you indicate agreement to all our terms. Note: For more assistance with the terms "requestor" and "submitter", see question below. For assistance with the terms "volunteer activities", "volunteering offers", "volunteer requests/opportunities", etc., click here.

Top | Question Summary

Q. What is the difference between the "Requestor" and the "Submitter"?

A. As indicated above, the term "requestor" refers to a person(s) / group / organization, etc. who may be requesting volunteer(s) while the term "submitter" refers to a person who actually submitted a post. The term "requestor" may include the submitter. Also, the requestor and the submitter may be the same. For example, if a submitter posts a request for a volunteer for himself, the requestor and submitter would be the same. If a submitter posts a request for a volunteer for his charity organization, the submitter and the requestor would be different [although the term "requestor" may include (or does include) the submitter as part of the requesting organization]. An individual [and any associated person(s) / group(s) / organization(s), etc.] responding to a volunteering offer is also called a "requestor". If there are both a submitter and a requestor seeking volunteers who are different (e.g. a submitter requesting a volunteer for his charity organization), the submitter may be considered the responsible party (although the requestor may be held legally liable, either partially or fully). If an individual requestor responds to a post, he/she alone may be considered the responsible party (although any associated organization / group, etc. may be held legally liable, either partially or fully). Note that if the submitter and requestor are different, the submitter must obtain the express, informed permission of the requestor before posting (click here for more information / requirements regarding third party requests). All requestors must obtain the express, informed permission of any affected / involved / associated organization / group / persons, etc. before submitting post(s) or responding to any post(s). Important: For more information / requirements regarding third party requests [e.g. situations where volunteer(s) are requested to assist someone other than (or in addition to) the person submitting the request for assistance (e.g. a family member, an organization the person submitting the request works for, etc.), or situations where a volunteer request in any way involves/affects someone other than the person submitting the request for assistance (e.g. a landlord, a roommate, an employer, a sibling, or any other individual, organization, etc.)], click here.

Q. What do the classifications mean (e.g. Roman Catholic-progressive, Roman Catholic-traditional, etc.)? Why are there classifications?

A. The classifications are general categories selected by users to describe religious affiliation. For assistance with the meaning of terms such as "traditional", "progressive", etc., click here. In a perfect world, such classifications would not be necessary. However, since Vatican II, the Church has seen many of her members fall into disunity, some of whom remain Catholic "in name only". Unfortunately, therefore, we think these classifications may be helpful to users of this site. Note that we do not guarantee accuracy of these classifications. Information about religious affiliation is provided by users and has not been verified and is not endorsed by us. The classifications may reflect the opinions of the users and may be inaccurate (also see question below). We do not endorse / recommend any volunteer opportunity/request, volunteering offer, event, activity, individual, group, organization, submitter/requestor/volunteer, etc. We cannot guarantee accuracy of any information.

Inclusion of volunteer opportunities/requests, volunteering offers, individuals, groups, organizations, submitters / requestors / volunteers, etc. does not imply our endorsement or agreement.

Q. Are religious affiliation classifications accurate? What if I don't agree with a classification?

A. Indicated religious affiliations are provided by users and have not been verified and are not endorsed by us. The classifications may reflect the opinions of the submitters and may be inaccurate. Also note that the option "Non-Catholic" may be chosen if the religious affiliation of the individual(s) / organization / group requesting volunteer(s) is mixed Catholic/Non-Catholic. If mixed between Catholic-traditional / Catholic-conservative / Catholic-progressive, the option chosen may reflect the least traditional option that applies (e.g. "Catholic-progressive" for mixed Catholic-traditional / Catholic-progressive, "Catholic-conservative" for mixed Catholic-conservative / Catholic-traditional, etc.). The fact that a post appears here does not mean that we agree with or endorse it. Information provided is not verified, is not comprehensive, and may be subjective/inaccurate.

Q. The person who is requesting/offering volunteer services wants all sorts of personal information. What should I do?

A. This should be considered a 'red flag'. If you are being asked for too much information, you should seriously consider whether or not to proceed with further volunteering activities. We strongly recommend a cautious approach regarding all personal information. You should NEVER provide your social security number, mother's maiden name, driver's license number, identification numbers, children's names, pet's name, etc. Remember also that personal information sent via e-mail may be insecure. The person asking for the information may be requesting it to see if you are really who you say you are or, the person may be attempting to acquire personal information for improper - and possibly harmful - purposes. If you are being asked for too much information, you should strongly reconsider any further participation in the volunteering activity.

Top | Question Summary

Q. If I am requesting/offering volunteer services, should I provide my home or work address?

A. Where possible, we recommend not providing any address. If you must provide an address, you should independently research the other party before providing them with this (or any other personal) information. To help protect your personal information, we recommend using a P.O. Box rather than a street address. Even so, providing of any address (even a P.O. Box) involves risk and you may receive unwanted communications and/or be subject to other unwanted items (including personal visits, anti-Catholic literature, harassment, encounters with those who have an intent to harm or deceive, etc.), and/or others may use your information in ways unsuitable/harmful to you. If you choose to provide a home or work address, the decision of which one to provide is up to you. Before you do so, you should carefully consider whether any unwanted communications or other items are likely to be more harmful at home or at work. Remember that participation in any activities (including contacts / correspondence, events, selection/use of volunteers, providing volunteer services, etc.) may be dangerous. Proceed at your own risk. If you do not want to - or cannot afford to - take such risks, you should not participate.

Top | Question Summary

Q. Should I limit volunteering offers/requests to certain areas?

A. For safety reasons, it is wise to limit volunteering offers/requests to certain populated areas (for example, known, safe, well-lit public grounds) and not to participate in volunteering activities in residential areas or other private areas. Note that volunteering activities occurring even in populated areas involve risk. Proceed at your own risk.

Box and a special e-mail account, and I don't give away any personal information, am I fully protected from the dangers which may occur with regard to volunteering activities (including contacts / correspondence, events, selection / use of volunteers, providing volunteer services, etc.)?

A. Unfortunately, no. While these are important steps to take to minimize risks, there is no guarantee that all risks will be eliminated.

Q. I volunteered for someone and later found out that they made a profit from my volunteer work - what should I do?

A. Remember that you did a kindness and that God knows what occurred both on your end and on the other party's end. We trust that God will both reward your good deed and hold the other party accountable if they abused your kindness. Unfortunately, however, here on earth, we cannot prevent this from occurring.

BIG Book of Latin Activities For Catholics

Beginning - Intermediate (Vol. 1)

Click for more information & to purchase

"Suitable For Children Or Adults!" ~ "Perfect For Home Schoolers!"

+ + +

As many faithful Catholics already know, the majestic Latin language – the 'official language' of the Catholic Church – promotes unity, helps safeguard the purity of doctrine, connects us with our Catholic ancestors, allows us to pray in "one voice", and even ties back to the inscription on the Cross which was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek. The Latin language is still used today in the precious treasure that is the Traditional Latin ('Tridentine') Mass, in 'everyday speech' (much of English is derived from Latin), in mottos, in specialized fields, and in educational endeavors. It has been shown that the study of Latin brings many benefits. "And, Latin is truly the language of heaven!"

If you enjoy Latin, you may be glad to know that this full-sized (8.5" x 11"), tradition-minded publication features an assortment of activity types related to Latin (including: word searches, crosswords, coloring activities, challenges, fill-ins, spelling bee, quizzes, unscrambles, true/false, multiple choice, matching, cross-offs, circling, word associations, translation exercises, and more...), and treats of various topics (including: common Latin words, Latin language facts, Latin grammar, nouns & verbs, abbreviations, phrases / sayings / mottos, prefixes, cardinal numbers, grammatical gender, inflection, word roots, diacritics / accenting, pronunciation, Latin prayers / hymns, Scripture verses, Catholic phrases, and more...).
