The Greeting Ministry is a liturgical ministry which creates a hospitable reception at the start of our weekly Mass celebration.

The ministry would require that the Greeters commit to meeting their scheduled assignment and to being their best welcoming selves!

Greeters would need to arrive 20 minutes prior to Mass to spend a few minutes in prayer, and then proceed to the front door for the Greeting Ministry. A simple, gracious greeting along with assisting with the front door is really all that is required of our ministers. Occasionally a Greeter may be approached with a question. If the Greeter is unable to answer the question, the Greeter should try to get as much information as possible and explain that their question will be forwarded to Sister Anita for follow-up and an answer. Sister Anita is almost always available after the Masses and these questions can be forwarded to her at this time.

The Greeting Ministry will be set up with an assigned schedule for each Mass. Each Mass will have a head greeter who will do the scheduling, distribute the schedules to their ministers and assist with substitutions, if needed. Ideally, the monthly schedule will include all of the phone numbers of the ministers assigned to a particular Mass. The Greeters are encouraged to contact one another for their own substitution if they are unable to honor their assigned schedule.
