HOSPITALITY

Hospitality is unlike any other ministry as it is the first impression most visitors will have of SML and it is held inside the church during and after Mass.  It is crucial that our volunteers have a sincere desire to make everyone feel welcome, needed, and important.   We are the first people most visitors will encounter before Mass and the impression we want to leave them with must be a positive one.  We strive to make the environment a welcoming and friendly one.   Our objective is to build the parish through this ministry.

This ministry is amazing and the spirit of the volunteers exhibit is a genuine desire to serve one another and Christ.  We welcome and encourage everyone to get involved in this ministry and get to know SML.
