People's impression of a church is significantly shaped by the presence or absence of a welcoming atmosphere when they arrive. A smile and some words of welcome can have a profound impact on people as they enter the church, particularly if they are visitors or newcomers to the Parish.
People who are given a warm welcome and encouraged to return are much more likely to become fully involved members of the parish community.
A warm welcome that reflects the love of God for them can help all worshipers enter more easily and joyfully into the celebration of the liturgy.
Please consider offering your gift of hospitality to Blessed Sacrament Church. The Ministry of Greeting takes little of your spare time, yet the rewards to the parish community and visitors are great. By arriving at Mass a little early and remaining a very short while afterwards, you enrich every person's experience at Blessed Sacrament Church.
Please contact the chairperson of the Greeting Ministry, Kathy Yates, via e-mail katyat1012@yahoo.com.
