"All are welcome in this place"

​

Welcomers open the church before a service and deal with any items which need attention including

- Opening of main doors

- Switching lights and heating on as necessary

- Lighting of votive candles

- Setting the timer for the car park lights at St Joseph’s

- Putting bulletins out

- Checking that there is sufficient sanitiser available

 

They welcome parishioners to the service and can help with any questions. After the service they check that the benches are tidy, switch off the heating and lights and then lock the church doors
