“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.

We Need Helping Hands

Anyone who enjoys entertaining, decorating and/or baking is welcome to join the Hospitality Ministry (that includes men, women and teens).  Do you have special talents or access to resources that will help us to create a welcoming atmosphere?  Our only requirement is a desire to serve others. 

We hold a general meeting once per month and committees meet occasionally as needed.  We accomplish most business via email.
