The Welcome Ministry provides focus and leadership in support of our parish goal: "Everyone who comes to St Pat's will feel Welcome".
During non-COVID time, greeters for in-person Mass welcome people as they arrive at the church, distribute bulletins, encourage people to wear nametags, arrange for people to take up the collection, and tidy up the pews after Mass.
A Hospitality team provides leadership, food, volunteers, and service for receptions being held in Paddy’s Place for families who have funeral Masses at the church.
Another group of parishioners from the Welcome Ministry hosts the online Zoom-based Coffee Hour after Mass. We meet for an hour, facilitate larger group discussions, and use Zoom’s “breakout sessions” for smaller group sharing. .
