The Greeter is an important part of the special liturgical ministry; the Ministry of Hospitality. The Greeter's initial welcome and greeting is the first encounter of the St. Paul Community to all who come to worship. The role of a Greeter is one of service to others. The presence of a Greeter enhances the gathering assembly. The Greeter's presence and hospitality to others sets the tone for all to enter more fully into the Eucharistic celebration.

We are currently looking for new families, men, women, and children to help greet many people coming to worship at St. Paul's Church. If you are interested please contact Michele Kennedy.

• In case of an emergency, inform an usher.
• As the entrance procession forms, return to your reserved seating in the church.
• Because of the importance of the liturgical action, it is most appropriate that you dress with the dignity befitting of our ministry.
