Hospitality Ministries
Church Decor
At all times, therefore, the Church seeks out the service of the arts and welcomes the artistic expressions of all peoples and regions. The Church is intent on keeping the works of art and the treasures handed down from the past and, when necessary, on adapting them to new needs. It strives as well to promote new works of art that appeal to the contemporary mentality. ~ General Instruction of the Roman Missal, § 254
The Church Decor Team meets several times throughout the year to enhance the beauty of our worship space and to highlight the changing moods of the liturgical seasons. Team members assist in cleaning the church and decorating it with flowers, banners, and other artistic arrangements. Commitment to the Team consists of one to several days during the year, depending on need.

Community Sunday Hosts
Better a meal of vegetables where there is love than a fattened calf with hatred. ~ Proverbs 15:17 NIV
The Community Sunday Hosts prepare coffee and donuts for our parish community fellowship after the morning liturgies on the second Sunday of each month during the program year. Fair Trade Coffee is served at these monthly gatherings. The hosts work together as a team to offer hospitality for the parish community by preparing and monitoring the supply of coffee, donuts, and milk – and, in summer months, lemonade and cookies. In addition, team members set up and clean up the room.
