Sacred Heart Church Volunteer Opportunities

Greeter Ministry

What is "Greeters"? Who are "Greeters"? Why "Greeters"? Are YOU a "Greeter?

The Greeter's Ministry began in 2004 as another way of showing hospitality and welcome to the parishioners and visitors to Sacred Heart Church.

Those who are greeters at the masses on Saturday and Sunday are both men and women who are enthusiastic, caring and giving. The rewards are most gratifying and deeply personal. You welcome all to the Lord's House as you would to your own home.

Christ was welcomed by the families at Cana and by Martha, Mary and Lazarus in Bethany.

ALL are welcomed at Sacred Heart Church in Palm Desert.
