2010-2011 Community Life Commission Goals

- Commission will recruit families of the Parish to act as greeters for Sunday Masses. As part of this process, will ask currently scheduled Lectors, Eucharistic Ministers, and Ushers if they are willing to greet families as they enter.

- Commission is reviewing program for welcoming and introducing new families to the Parish. Will seek to institute a systematic approach to inviting newcomers to events in the Parish.
