Help us offer an authentic and gracious welcome to all who enter
St. Matthew the Apostle Parish.
We can all enhance parish liturgies and parish life by fostering an atmosphere of warmth and welcome.
Together we can make a difference in someone else’s church experience as well as strengthening our own
experience. Fundamentally, hospitality is simply love in action. It has much more to do with resources of a
generous heart than with anything else.
Join us in ensuring our church offers hospitality to everyone we encounter by doing one or more of the
following: Engage each other after Mass, Invite someone new to coffee or a meal after Mass, Encourage a
new (or old) neighbor to attend Mass or a parish activity with you.
If you are interested in becoming a Minister of Hospitality, please contact Janiene LeBlanc at 504-669-
0115 or Sheila Hotard at 504-352-6184.
