Five Ways We Can Make Our Parish the Best
1. Think of yourself as part of our parish family. Family members share a common heritage & history. They are grounded in the same beliefs, values & traditions. They embrace new members of the family with a spirit of love and acceptance. Family members don’t always agree, but they do feel a strong commitment to one another & to the family as a whole.
2. Be welcoming. When we come together at Mass, think of it as a large family reunion, with people you know well, know slightly, and don't know at all. Introduce yourself to people you don’t know. If they are new to the parish, offer to give them a tour, introduce them to other parishioners or simply tell them why you love our parish. Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing. ~ Blessed Teresa of Calcutta.
3. Use your gifts & talents to make our Parish whole. Our volunteers are the heart of SJSP.
We need you.
4. Attend parish events. Meet new people - feel connected. Invite family members, friends, and co-workers. People who may not be ready to attend Mass, might enjoy coming to an event and see the great times we have to offer.
5. Pray for our Parish. Keep our pastor, parish staff, & fellow parishioners in our daily prayers. Saying a
Rosary, spending time in Adoration, fasting, or offering up suffering, annoyance or inconvenience you
experience for the well being of our parish will bring rewards not just for our parish, but for you personally. Pray for Catholics who have strayed from the practice of their faith, people raised with no faith, and people searching for meaning and purpose in life. No parish is perfect and even the best parishes can improve.
