WELCOMING MINISTRIES

Being a welcoming community is a very important part of the mission of St. John the Evangelist parish. We invite and welcome guests, newcomers, and one another as we gather to worship and carry out our baptismal call as disciples.

Newcomer's Events
Watch this space and the weekend bulletin for information on our next newcomer event.

Welcome Weekends
The first weekend of every month, here at St. John's, is Welcome Weekend. Our goal is to help us all remember and act on our desire to be a welcoming community where everyone feels welcomed and everyone is a welcomer.

The name tags available in the lobby can help. Please participate in this effort:

• Make a name tag for yourself and wear it.
• Before Mass, at the time of greeting, and at the sign of peace, use others' name tags to greet them by name.
• After Mass, plan to linger a while, share some refreshments in the lobby, and get to know another parishioner you don't already know. There is also a Welcome Table in the lobby on these weekends where you can pick up information about Catholic life and practice or meet someone who can help you register for the parish.
