Christ commands us to work for the advancement of His kingdom by being a welcoming community. The difference between a business–as-usual church and a Spirit-filled, amazing parish is the joy shown by the sons and daughters of God when they gather to celebrate the Eucharist. We invite you to be part of the Greeter Ministry and share the spirit of hospitality. Everyone willing to come to church 15 minutes prior their regularly scheduled Mass has the opportunity to participate. Greeting only requires a “GOOD MORNING”, “GOOD AFTERNOON”, “GOOD EVENING” or any other welcoming phrase offered in the spirit of love to convey our delight in serving and magnifying the Lord. As a greeter you are the first friendly face to meet those coming to Mass. Your joyful greeting helps parishioners and visitors prepare for their participation in the Eucharistic Celebration.
During the pandemic, not all liturgical ministries are active.
CURRENT STATUS: ACTIVE
Ministry Notes:
At what time do we need you in the church? We need you at least 1/2 hour before Mass. Believe it or not, people start arriving for Mass as early as 1/2 hour before the Mass.
Masks: For now, masks and social distancing are required for employees and volunteers if they are working in the church during Mass (from updated liturgical guidelines of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, dated June 15, 2021; also see below):
• Masks are not required for fully vaccinated individuals outdoors or indoors for religious services. Masks are required for unvaccinated individuals outdoors when social distancing is not possible, and at all times indoors. Parishes must provide information and/or post a sign at entrances indicating that parishioners must wear a facemask if they are unvaccinated. Parishes are not to verify who is and who is not vaccinated.
Sacristy or Vestibule? The sacristy is where the priest gets ready for Mass. The vestibule is the entrance at Brand Boulevard.
