The Hospitality Ministry welcomes up to 6 students for each Mass. The responsibilities are as follows:

  1. 1)  Arrive for Mass 15 minutes before Mass and stay for up to 15 minutes afterwards. Assistants must check in with a one of the regular Hospitality Team members when arriving.

There are 5 separate entrances: 2 side doors facing the parking lot, 2 side doors facing the athletic field, and 1 at the back of the Church facing Acacia Avenue, The Acacia entrance and rear door on the parking lot are the busiest and may require two Assistants.
