Our Mission: The purpose of our ministry is to provide a friendly, welcoming and convenient environment for our parishioners and visitors to shop for religious and gift articles.
About our Ministry Members: While our ministry members provide a warm and greatly appreciated friendly service, they walk away with a sense of fulfillment assisting customers and knowing that they continue to return confident that their needs will be met. It is also a wonderful way to get to know our parish family and visitors!
Our members support the Gift Shop by:
Offering an hour of their time, smile and welcoming attitude, to work at the gift shop, once or twice per month (1/2 hour before Mass and a 1/2 hour after Mass).
Conducting sales transactions.
Itemizing and total customers' purchases.
Assisting customers as needed.
Attending a ministry meeting approximately every 3 months.
Enjoying themselves!
Some words from our Gift Shop Ministry Members:
"I appreciate the opportunity to meet and help people."
"I love talking to and helping all that come into our gift shop."
"I enjoy working with nice, friendly people thar are always helping out."
"Not only is volunteering at the gift shop fun, but it is also a good chance to shop for great items!"
"Attending Mass at Notre Dame is a wonderful spiritual experience and joining the gift shop is like icing onthe cake!"
"...It is a great feeling to know you are helping someone find an expression of God's love. It might be a gift for themselves, or for someone who needs comfort, or to celebrate; but whatever the reason, our gifts are bringing a reminder of God's love to someone."
I absolutely love working at the Gift Shop. It gives me great pleasure to see the smiles when someone finds that special something and hear their praise. I have made may friends and have helped many to satisfy their gifting needs."
