“Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.”Hebrews 13:2 OLIVIA – On Saturday, Sept. 28, 2019, at the St. Aloysius Jubilee Center in Olivia, Bishop John LeVoir was joined by parish and school staff and volunteers for “Entertaining Angels Hospitality Training,” a diocesan sponsored Discipleship Day presented by St. Paul Evangelization Institute. From transforming the environment of the parish office to using the right words when interacting with guests and parishioners, participants learned tips on how to evangelize and make the parish a welcoming environment. Pictured, Denise Hirl, one of the two keynote speakers, talks about learning to imitate Christ’s service by focusing on the gifts of joy, service, and peace.
