Hospitality Ministries

Door Greeters
An important ministry of hospitality to all who walk through the church doors. As door greeters, you offer assistance with opening entrance doors for those in need and offer a friendly welcome to all who enter the building. Time commitment: 15 minutes before Mass.

Program/Bulletin Distributors
This ministry is open to families and/or individuals. Participants greet all who are coming to Mass as you pass out worship aids in the Narthex. After Mass you will pass out bulletins in the Narthex. Time commitment: 15 minutes before Mass and after Mass.

Usher
This ministry involves helping people find seating, taking up the collection, and attending to any "behind the scenes" issues, situations or difficulties.

Hospitality Station
Participants in this ministry provide a cup of coffee or lemonade/hot cocoa to the community after weekend liturgies; and a warm greeting to all.

Welcome And Information Station
Providing information and a warm welcome to those seeking answers to questions or to those desiring to register for the parish. Commitment is once per month, 15 minutes before Mass and 15 minutes following Mass.

Nametag Ministry
Welcome people to the liturgy by inviting them to put on a name tag before they enter the sanctuary. The ability to greet each other by name at the beginning of Mass and at the sign of peace brings a sense of community to those who are new and also helps us get to know one another. Time commitment is once per month 15 minutes before Mass.

Donut Sunday
After the 8:15 and 10:00 AM Masses, from September to May, parishioners gather for donuts, coffee and lemonade as a way to get to know other parishioners. Volunteers work before and after one Mass only. Time commitment is about one hour and may be 1-2 times per year, depending upon the number of volunteers. 

Channel One
A collection bin for the Channel One Food Bank is located in the Narthex. This ministry picks up the donated food and delivers it to Channel One in Rochester.
