The vision for the Hospitality team at St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Church is to extend Christ’s welcome to all, beyond the Mass and other spiritual activities, by promoting involvement within the parish community. Its purpose is to oversee the balance and diverse variety of hospitality ministry activities, facilitating collaboration between ministries when necessary. The hospitality team values, by which we operate, are faith-based fellowship, mutual respect, collaborative spirit and awareness of cultural diversity within the parish.
The hospitality team promotes and supports activities, evaluates current and past activities, brainstorms new activities, assures that at least one social event is scheduled per month. We hold an annual Spring ministry fair for the parish’s hospitality and service ministries by planning, executing and promoting these ministries, inviting involvement from the community at large.
The Hospitality Team is active with meetings every month, and anyone is welcome to attend. It is a great way to meet people if you are new to the parish. The team is devoted to their committed mission to the parish, based on collaboration with liturgy, formation and service. Team members are committing to no less than 2 years of service on the Hospitality team.
