Welcome Committee
Welcome is an attitude of stewardship that connects people to the life of our parish. The Welcoming Committee fulfills the mission of showing that Saint Mary of the Lake and Our Lady of Lourdes is a parish that welcomes each person, whether a regular parishioner or visitor, by acknowledging them with a warm hello or an encouraging smile. This small, but important connection can make the difference in whether a person is a one-time visitor or returns to become an active member.
Welcome Ministers are hosts who put a face to the parish by being the first person to greet all who enter Saint Mary of the Lake and Our Lady of Lourdes Parish. As Welcome Ministers, it is our goal to give everyone a warm welcome to the worship space. We are the front door of the parish.
Welcome Leads, and Welcome Ushers, need to know how to handle an emergency during a religious service, and must be Archdiocesan VIRTUS certified for child safety and protection.
Questions - For more information contact … (Michael Bland at Michael@BlandTherapy.com or) call the parish office (773) 280-7700.
