😊 Could You Help Someone Feel at Home?
👋 A smile. A welcome. A short conversation.
Sometimes that's all it takes to help someone feel seen, return to church, find friendship, or even begin a journey of faith.
Every week, people come through the doors of St Mary's and St Joseph's who are new, returning to church after many years, visiting the area, or simply looking for a place to belong. We want to ensure that nobody comes to Mass feeling unnoticed, uncertain, or alone.
💙 Over the coming months, we will be launching a simple Welcome Team and are looking for warm, approachable people who would enjoy helping others feel at home in our parish community.
No special experience is needed, and there is no commitment at this stage—just an opportunity to find out more.
As well as helping others, many people find that serving in this way deepens their own sense of belonging, builds new friendships, and connects them more deeply to parish life.
☕ If this sounds like something you might enjoy, we'd love to hear from you.

I will also be sharing more about the Welcome Team at all Masses in the coming weeks, with an opportunity to chat in person afterwards.
🙏 Together, let's help ensure that everyone who walks through our doors knows they are welcome.
