TO BE HOSPITABLE : This objective focuses upon creating an atmosphere of social and spiritual growth. Hospitality is far more than "coffee and ..." It is based on human relationships. It exhibits an openness to all others. It offers the connectedness of being a part of a community in the context of a Christian way of life. It is considered a pre-evangelization effort.

In five years, the parish community can positively effect parish hospitality if we create unique opportunities that: welcome new parishioners and draw them into parish life; encourage social interaction before and after liturgies; celebrate ethnic differences; and foster mutual respect among ethnic groups. The process assumes continuation of efforts to support parish activities currently ongoing, that are social in nature.

Actions to promote the above may include:

-Parish Welcoming Process

-Greeter Ministry

-Hospitality Sundays

-Annual celebration of our ethnic unity

-Celebration of various ethnic cultures

-Hospitality Coordinator

-Parish Newsletter
