Any parishioner can participate in this ministry. The function of this ministry is to greet parishioners upon entering the Church for the Celebration of Mass, often opening the door as they enter. This person should be available at least 15-20 minutes before Mass begins. This ministry is encouraged to visit with those who enter the vestibule and be especially attentive to visitors. This is a great opportunity for all family members to participate at the same time in the same ministry.
