Hospitality Ministries
“When I was a stranger, you welcomed me." (Mt. 25:35).
"Jesus Christ teaches that whenever we welcome one of the least of our sisters and brothers, we welcome Christ Himself. Parishioners of a stewardship parish seek to see the face of Christ in one another. With special vigilance, parishioners must seek out and welcome new members to the parish family. A stewardship parish is a welcoming parish regardless of the parish demographics: large or small - urban, suburban or rural."~ from "The Pillars of Parish Stewardship" by the Office of Stewardship, Diocese of Wichita, Kansas
