The mission of Parish Life is to bring together our parishioners in a spirit of fellowship, to build community and enjoy a life of giving in the name of Jesus Christ. We plan and host dynamic social events as a way of engaging our faith community fully in the total life of the parish. We invite you to share your time and talents with Parish Life by serving on our Steering Committee or by volunteering, coordinating and supporting our events.

Coffee Hospitality

Coffee Hospitality Ministry

Coffee Hospitality is held twice monthly and has a large group of 50+ volunteers who serve beverages, pastries and light finger foods after all masses. Working in this ministry is a great way to get to know members of the parish while helping to add to its vibrancy.

The ministry is currently led Luisa Gowen and Janet McCarraher, who would be happy to answer questions about this opportunity.

St. Nicholas Coffee Hospitality is held on the 1st and 3rd weekends of the month after every liturgy. The congregation is invited to the Social Hall to meet fellow parishioners and enjoy light refreshments. Typically, four volunteers are needed for each Mass. Volunteers are asked to show up 30 minutes before the start of liturgy to prepare and plate the food items and make coffee; hospitality usually lasts about half an hour, with clean-up taking another 20 minutes or so.

Volunteers typically receive email or telephone reminders four or five days in advance of a Hospitality Weekend and are asked to confirm their ability to help or secure a substitute.

Following Saturday evening’s Mass, our Coffee Hospitality adds Wine Hospitality to the title, with wine and cheese served after Mass.
