Mission Statement
The Hospitality/Greeters Ministry promotes a welcoming environment at Holy Family. We are committed to making these words a reality for all in our parish community. When we gather, we do so as a community – to celebrate, to give thanks, to praise, to worship, to rejoice. We take joy in the presence of one another.
About the Greeters/Hospitality Ministry
Hospitality ministers extend a warm greeting to all who gather at weekend Masses and are available to serve at special liturgies and parish events. The Hospitality minister does something that all parishioners are asked to do: to be welcoming and hospitable to visitors and fellow parishioners. The Hospitality Ministry is the community’s way of being sure that this happens, being sure that the first face everyone sees at church is smiling, being sure that people feel at home. Those are values that everyone in the assembly has responsibility for, but the hospitality minister is one who is assigned specifically to this responsibility.
