Welcoming Committee

Ministry Chair: Jan Smerglia
Phone: 440.442.3410

Purpose: The focus of this committee is to welcome newly registered parishioners to Saint Paschal Baylon Parish. Our goal is to make all registrants comfortable in their new faith community. The welcoming committee is responsible for maintaining the registration packet and assisting new parishioners with their concerns or needs. A welcome card is sent from the parish to each new family, and a call is made to welcome them and see if they would like to join a group. Periodically, “Newcomers Brunches” are scheduled, allowing new registrants to learn more about the parish, particularly the many ministries and activities at Saint Paschal Baylon.

Commitment: Meetings are held monthly at the parish rectory. Beyond the monthly meeting, each member may spend another half an hour placing calls to new parishioners.
