The mission of the Hospitality committee is to make everyone, new and current parishioners, feel that they are part of a warm, supportive, and hospitable community where all are welcome. The spiritual pillar of Christian hospitality is our call to see Christ in others. A further element of being hospitable is developing an attitude of mercy. Fostering in our hearts an attitude of mercy can in turn help us to accept all we meet. EVERYONE who comes is in need of God’s love. The ministers of hospitality are hosts who put a face onto the parish. They welcome those who arrive and begin the process of forming them as a worshipping body. Practically speaking, they can welcome with love newcomers who visit the parish and they can awaken the “regulars” to the place of love and mercy at which they have arrived. This is done concretely by removing concerns, creating a sense of belonging and let people know, “This is a place where I can be loved”. The Hospitality Committee hosts Hospitality Sundays and provides refreshments for various parish events! Baked goods donations are always welcome.
Hospitality Sunday: First Sunday of every month September-May
