Greeters
What: The JGS Greeter Ministry provides a welcoming and hospitable presence to those entering the church for Mass or other events. Greeters are the first point of contact for parishioners and visitors, offering a friendly face and a warm greeting to create a welcoming environment. We help people feel comfortable, answer questions about the liturgy or the parish, and can direct newcomers to relevant ministries or individuals. We work to help the Mass run smoothly, especially during the offertory and at Communion time.
We encourage and welcome new volunteers to this ministry. Training is provided on an as needed basis. Please contact Sheryl Fischer at receptionist@ccjgs.org to get started.
