This Ministry's purpose is to present the love of Christ to all those that enter the doors of the Church by greeting them with a warm smile.
Hospitality is one of the most important things we can offer to another person in our parish, our community or wherever we find ourselves. Just think of a time each of us has experienced someone's sincere, warm and generous hospitality. It's as if we were the only ones in the world and there was nothing that someone wouldn't do for us. And we never had to ask for it. It was pure gift!
A smile, a warm hello, a hearty handshake, being respectful and courteous or just being present to someone are all concrete ways of showing hospitality. We should always keep in mind Jesus' word to His disciples, "Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me." (Mt. 18.5)
On behalf of the parish, thank you to those who greet parishioners and assist the parish by handing out bulletins and ensuring that the Church is secure.
