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 maintains the registration packet and assists new parishioners with their concerns or needs. A Welcome Card is sent to the new registrants extending a warm personal welcome. Periodically “Newcomers Brunches” are scheduled, allowing new registrants to learn more about the parish, particularly the many ministries and activities at Saint Paschal Baylon. The monthly meeting is usually held on the 2nd Tuesday of the month in the evening.

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.
