We're fast approaching Easter in the Jubilee Year of Mercy. During Holy Week and especially on Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday, you can count on seeing unfamiliar faces along with your weekly regulars. Folks will bring family members who are in town for the holiday, Easter/Christmas attendees will make their semi-annual appearance, and others may find their way to your parish, well, just because. Whatever a newcomer's reason for sitting in an unknown pew surrounded by unfamiliar faces, it's your mission to offer them a warm, genuine welcome. 

Now is the perfect time to do a little self-assessment and renew our enthusiasm for a deeper, more genuine hospitality, driven by our love for the Lord and each other. Our goal is to be even friendlier, warmer, and more personable by Holy Week. Let's send a clear message to newcomers and regular parishioners alike: welcome to our loving parish family - we're glad you're here.
