The Mission of Our Hospitality Ministry

To serve as the welcoming hands and heart of the Franciscan Chapel Center, ensuring that every person who enters—whether a lifelong parishioner, a weary traveler, or a searching soul—feels they have truly found their way “home”.  

Our Core Values:

• Radical Welcome: We recognize that those who walk through our doors are not just visitors or tourists, but members of our family.  

• Patient Presence: We serve with a high level of tolerance and kindness, even when our space is cramped or the environment is bustling with shopping bags and restless children.  

• Loving Service: Through “intelligent acts of love”—from organizing strollers to managing the flow of the room—we work to create a conducive environment for sacred worship.  

• Undeterred Kindness: We remain committed to our service even in challenging moments, knowing that our mindfulness may be the very thing that helps someone reconnect with their faith.
