The Hospitality Ministry is tasked with creating a welcoming atmosphere through greeting at Mass, connecting with and engaging parishioners and visitors, hearing their journey, and connecting them to meaningful ministry within our Parish. We are the first point of contact for the communal celebration of the Liturgy, and our welcoming spirit helps remove barriers, allowing each person to approach God in the liturgy with open hearts.
Greeters warmly welcome parishioners and visitors, assisting those with special needs to ensure everyone feels at home.
Ushers guide people to their seats, help those with disabilities, collect the offertory, and assist with the flow of communion.
Hospitality Ministry is a wonderful place to begin serving or return to serving. It’s not just about greeting—it’s about creating an atmosphere where everyone can experience the love of Christ.
REQUIREMENTS
The Ministry of Hospitality is truly a service to the Church and should be treated seriously and with great dignity. Therefore, Ministers of Hospitality should have an understanding of the Liturgy in order to be effective in providing the faithful with the proper environment.
In addition, the following attributes will assist the ministers in seeking Jesus’ face in the face of each and every person who comes into the church: patience, reverence, sensitivity, compassion, understanding, gentleness, embracing a sense of the family gathered as the Body of Christ.
Your participation in the Ministry of Hospitality should be a direct reflection of your own prayer life, which is nurtured by the Word of God and the reception of the Holy Eucharist, thereby imbuing within you a spirit of dignity and respect.
