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 !
