Welcome Ministry

One of Saint Bernadette’s strengths is that we have a very welcoming parish community. Our Welcome Minister’s role is to say “good morning” or “good evening” to all who walk through the doors of our church building before Mass and to engage with those who are interested in joining Saint Bernadette after Mass. 
  
Time:  Volunteers minister at each of the Sunday Masses.  Members need to arrive 30 minutes before Mass to greet those entering the building.  After Mass, we have one minister at the Welcome Sign located at the information kiosk to speak with those who are interested in joining Saint Bernadette.  Information about new members is then passed on to the New Member Ministry.
 
Gifts and talents:  A welcoming smile, cheerful attitude and a love of getting to know those entering our building are the talents that are necessary for this ministry.  This can be a great ministry for a family to do together.  Members are scheduled on a rotating basis at the Mass of their choice.
