The Hospitality Minister is the first and last person whom visitors will meet upon entering and exiting the church.
It is the role of the Hospitality Minister to meet parishioners as they enter to worship and to make them feel comfortable in the house of God. The greeters do this by exuding a sense of welcome and by offering assistance to those who may require special seating or may wish to sit where they can see or hear better. The Ministers recognize the regular parishioners and greet them by name while also offering visitors an opportunity to feel welcome by helping them to get seated in a friendly manner.
The Ministers take up the weekly collection and arrange the Offering Procession which takes the collection and the gifts for the Eucharistic Sacrifice to the Priest or Deacon. Our Ministers are particularly gentle when preparing the children to take up the gifts.
In our parish we are proud to have both male and female Directors of Hospitality.
