The Welcoming Ministry ensures that all newly registered parishioners are greeted and welcomed in a personal way, form personal friendships with other parishioners, and get involved in the life of our parish. The ministry will work to:
Ensure that all newly registered parishioners truly feel welcomed and accepted;
Provide opportunities for new parishioners to develop relationships with other parishioners in the parish;
Provide opportunities for new parishioners to meet priests and deacons of the parish;
Use small faith-sharing groups as a means of engaging new parishioners;
Introduce new parishioners to the core evangelism experiences and programs and encourage their participation; and
Introduce the many and varied ministries of the parish to the new parishioners and encourage their participation.
