Our Mass attendance is growing! We hope our emphasis on welcoming and hospitality is aiding that growth. It is a key part of our parish 5 Year Plan! 

Please read this article about our efforts to-date. 

First, we created two high quality documents to help visitors and newcomers better understand our parish. 

One was a small tri-fold brochure designed for visitors. 

(below) The other was an attractive document that describes the Sacred Relics, Icons, art and statues that enrich our church, campus and prayer-lives.  

Third, we formed a team of Welcomers to greet everyone at the church entrances (wearing blue and white sashes) before and after the weekend Masses. 

Visitors are urged to seek out the Welcomers and the brochures after Mass to learn more about our parish.

Then we invite everyone to join us in the Fallon Center for coffee and donuts after the 9am Sunday Mass. That provides yet another opportunity for us to meet visitors and newcomers. (below)
