Hospitality is an important aspect of Christianity, a necessary element of Christian life. For the parish, hospitality is an invaluable element of the spiritual well-being of the community. It is necessary for a parish to make those within the community, and beyond, feel welcome and included for that parish to survive. Hospitality is more than waiting for people to come to the Church; it is just as important to bring the Church to the people.
This handbook, published by the Communication Center at the Archdiocese of Louisville, addresses the issue of creating a welcoming atmosphere within the parish. It also includes sample parish models and programs for outreach.
To order this publication, write the Evangelization Ministry at the Communications Center, Archdiocese of Louisville, 1200 South Shelby Street, Louisville, KY 40203-2600, or contact Joan Cunningham by telephone at 502-636-0296, or email at jcunningham@archlou.org.
