ENGLEWOOD, NJ — Faithtree Resources has announced a free offering for clergy aimed at strengthening parish hospitality and newcomer engagement. As part of its seasonal initiative, the organization is making its “Welcome Home” Hospitality Ministry course available at no cost to clergy.
Designed for parishes seeking to be more intentional about welcoming visitors and inquirers, the course provides a simple, structured approach that can be implemented without extensive time or resources. According to Faithtree Executive Director Michelle Moujaes, the program requires about one hour to establish a clear vision for hospitality, after which a parish leader and team can continue the work independently.
“Welcome Home” is a step-by-step course focused on building a sustainable Hospitality Ministry that helps visitors feel genuinely at home and supported in their faith journey. The program includes lessons for clergy and team leaders, a half-day training for hospitality teams, practical worksheets, and a comprehensive leader guide and workbook.
Previously, the UOJ reported on a prison-ministry app released by Faithtree Resources.
