The Ministers of Hospitality are responsible for ensuring a welcoming and comfortable environment for the Celebration of the Eucharist and other ceremonies. Assignments are once or twice a month (depending on staffing). Duties include greeting worshippers, taking collections, seeing to an orderly Eucharist reception, dispersing weekly bulletins, etc. Ministers of Hospitality are required for all Masses.

Be sure there are enough hosts (Ask Fr Stan about supply of Consecrated Hosts in the Tabernacle) Handle collections and Special collections when noted. Hand out bulletins after Mass. Be ready to set up chairs in vestibule for overcrowded Masses. Hand out palms on Palm Sunday. Check heating/air conditioning, or open doors if required on the side.
