Over a year ago, our Pastoral Council conducted a parish survery which asked parishioners and visitors alike various questions concering parish life. One of the main themes that came out of the survey was the lack of "warmth" when entering the church.
Under the leadership of Pastoral Council member Carol Rutkiewicz, a group of volunteers came together with the purpose of welcoming parishioners and vistiors with a friendly greeting and a copy of the weekly bulletin. With five intrances to the church, it can be a difficult jub, especially when there is only one greeter present.
Consider helping out with this parish minitry even if you can only help out a few times a year, especially around the holidays.
