St. Michael's Welcome Ministry has two primary objectives.
To welcome parishioners coming to Mass so that as we are gathering together to celebrate the gift of the Eucharist, we may reach out and touch the hearts of our family in faith as they enter into the Sanctuary. When fellow worshipers see the Greeter's face, we want them to see the face of Christ and when they feel our touch, we want them to know the touch of Jesus Christ.
To welcome NEW or POTENTIAL parishioners into our parish by supplying them with a Welcome packet and follow-up phone call. By clarifying their particular interests in prior parishes and their current family status (single? Children? Ages of children?), we could potentially connect them to another parish family or ministry and ultimately end up with an ACTIVE member of our parish.
We have so many opportunities to engage those who walk into St. Michaels: to lift their spirits and invite them to take their Faith to a new level. This ministry will explore these opportunities and share stories of success with the other Mass Teams.
