Welcome Ministry

The Welcome Ministry offers a sincere  friendly welcome to our parishioners and guests as they come to church. Mass is a celebration of worship and adoration, which we share together, communally building our relationship  with the Lord and each other.   The Welcome Ministry must joyfully open the door to this for everyone.  Welcome ministers serve the Lord by showing appreciation to those who have come to St. Augustine and connecting  them to our faith community. This ministry is attentive to the needs of parishioners upon arrival as well as during Mass.   Welcome ministers take up the offertory, distribute bulletins and materials and extend good wishes to all as they leave the church. Volunteers are always needed and welcome.
