If you have already become, or are thinking of becoming, a Minister of Santa Muerte, you may be wondering how much time you should dedicate to your ministerial project. One of the pillars on which Santa Muerte Ministries stands is ministerial independence. This organization does not elevate members of the public to the title of Minister, we simply record the wishes of the folk - at least three people - who believe that a fellow devotee deserves the title. Likewise, apart from a very short "Code of Ethics" which we ask ministers to adhere to, this organization does not establish rules about what is or is not a worthy ministerial project. It is up to the folk to deem a project worthy or not worthy of their support. In this same vein, Santa Muerte Ministries does not dictate how Ministers of Santa Muerte run their ministries, including how much time those ministers dedicate to service.
This being said, it is entirely up to Ministers themselves how much time they dedicate to their desired ministry. It could be a part time endeavor or a full time calling. It could be a few minutes a week, a couple hours a month, or a few days a year. The schedule is not what matters. What matters above all is service to others in the name of Santa Muerte. If you have an idea for a Santa Muerte ministry you would like to start, but you're afraid that you may not have the time necessary to dedicate to such a project, I encourage you to stop overthinking it. Any amount of work done in the name of Santa Muerte and in service to others, I think, is a net positive for our community and for the world as a whole.
