A most powerful and humbling ministry! Jesus said, "Do not be afraid." And this pertains also to this ministry. If you feel called to this ministry...answer the call!

It's always good to feel welcome! Our greeters welcome parishioners, new comers, and visitors to the Lord's House before each Mass. They are available to provide directions and general information in a warm, friendly manner to make everyone feel part of the community. We always need additional greeters. The main qualification is a “glad to see you” smile.

Jesus is the “Flame of Love”. Our Lady wants this Movement, called “her Cause” to spread to every country in the world. The Flame of Love Movement is the greatest Grace given to mankind since the Word became Flesh. Our Lady, herself, is the founder of the Flame of Love movement. Our Lady and Jesus spoke to Elizabeth Kindlemann, a mystic approved in Rome by the Catholic Church, and she wrote messages from Our Lady for over 20 years, which consists in her diary of 32 volumes including Our Lady’s message to spread the Flame of Love on the whole world.. The movement supports the Divine Mercy and messages of Fatima. Please join us on Monday mornings at 9:30 following the 9 am Mass. Location is in the EHST room on the bottom floor of St. Columbkill Parish Hall, 200 Indian Springs Road, Boyertown, PA 19512.

The committee reminds the parish of our obligation to take care of our brothers and sisters as pointed out by Jesus in Mt. 25:40 ("Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me."), and also of our need to be a witness to the community.
