OUR PARISH VISION: To know, to live and to share our faith in Christ.
OUR PARISH MISSION: To know Christ, and to make Him better known by welcoming all, teaching and sharing the Faith, providing worship and spiritual growth opportunities, and serving those in need.
Hospitality at St. Agnes
Our Purpose:
That our parishioners and guests
- are welcomed to the church with a smile and a verbal greeting, and that they are made to feel comfortable upon entering the church
- because someone who is welcomed by name will feel more a part of our congregation, those entering will be welcomed by name (to the best of our ability, of course!)
- after Mass, committee members will make every effort to interact with any guests, visitors, or, especially, new parishioners and, by doing so, remove any unnecessary barriers to a repeat visit.
Elements of Hospitality:
To enhance the sense of community here at St. Agnes
- once a month, we will have refreshments after all of our weekend Masses
- after our daytime Sunday Masses, refreshments will include coffee, tea, juice
and donuts
- during most months, the St. Agnes school children are invited to our Hospitality Sunday at the 10:45 Mass
- after our evening weekend Masses, refreshments will include wine, cheese, crackers, cookies, coffee, tea, and juice
- our Hospitality Sundays provide a comfortable atmosphere for social interaction with the parishioners and guests, and thus helps to build a greater sense of community !
