Hospitality Ministers exhibit a warm welcome that reflects the love of God to all worshippers helping them to enter more easily and more fully into the Eucharistic celebration.
How the Ministry Works:
- Volunteers wishing to become Hospitality Ministers must attend an initial ninety-minute training session.
- They then submit Mass preference information and dates of unavailability for each schedule period as requested by the Liturgy and Music office.
- On average, Hospitality Ministers are scheduled once or twice a month, depending on Mass preference and number of others available for the same Mass(es).
- During the Liturgy, they greet and seat parishioners, assist the physically disabled, gather the collection, assist with the Procession of the Gifts, Communion Procession, distribute bulletins and other worship aids.
- After Mass, one assigned Hospitality Minister registers new parishioners.
Expectations:
- This ministry is open to individuals, couples, high school students, and families.
- Ministers should arrive to Mass 25 - 30 minutes before Mass begins and stay after Mass to complete clean up and other assigned responsibilities.
