Hospitality Ministry
Each of us is called to the Hospitality Ministry. You may not realize it, but every time you smile and make another parishioner feel welcome, you are already doing it! Incarnate Word has a reputation for being a very friendly parish where visitors feel welcome and members have a sense of belonging.
We’d love for you to join us! Your service to this rewarding ministry means you will arrive 20 minutes before Mass begins, greet parishioners and visitors as they arrive, distribute bulletins, collect any song sheets or other items that may be left in the pews following Mass.

Any parishioner 6th grade and up is welcome to join this ministry and be trained to assist the priests and deacon during Mass. Adults are also able to train and asist the Priest and Deacon at Mass. After training is complete servers can request their preferred Mass time and frequency through our online scheduler. Altar servers who are interested can receive additional training for special occasions (i.e. weddings, funerals, and Christmas and Easter Masses).
