Hospitality Ministry

“Contribute to the needs of the holy ones, exercise hospitality.”
Romans 12:13
Those busy bees donned in navy blue aprons at parish events represent the Hospitality Ministry, whose members serve our Parish by hosting activities and tackling special projects that promote a welcoming atmosphere on both our church properties.
