The Pastoral Ministry Office….. are also organising a workshop for those involved in welcoming back parishioners as they begin to come back to church. Apparently, people make up their minds whether or not to come back to church in the first 9 minutes of getting out of their cars! This makes our welcome even more important! The first workshop will be on May 22nd. More information on https://pastoralministryoffice.org/event/entertaining-angels/.
