Ministers of Hospitality

WHAT WE DO
Ministers of Hospitality are instrumental in making Saint Joseph a warm and welcoming place for everyone who enters our doors, parishioners and non-parishioners alike. Ministers of Hospitality greet the faithful as they enter and assist them in finding seats. During the liturgy they assist in collecting the monetary offering and offer the gifts of bread and wine during the Offertory Procession. After mass they distribute bulletins, straighten up the pews, and store the worship aids when needed.

HOW TO GET INVOLVED
If you would like to participate in this ministry, please sign up on your Stewardship Renewal Form in the fall or contact Kim Thompson.

Scheduling for Ministers

Ministers are scheduled in advance at the Masses they prefer, and frequency varies by liturgy.

We use Ministry Scheduler Pro (MSP) to schedule all of our liturgical ministers. MSP has an online component, which allows ministers to input their serving preferences including dates that they are unable to serve, preferred Masses, and family scheduling options. Ministers can also request subs online if they are unable to serve when schedule.

MSP Web Terminal >
Here you can update your profile, request substitutes or respond to sub requests.

Request a Sub >
Note that it is very important to request a substitute if you are unable to serve during your scheduled Masses.
