Do you love the Catholic faith, enjoy meeting new people, and wish to see our St Columba family grow in numbers through the influence of the Holy Spirit?  
Well, we all know that practicing in our Catholic faith is not a spectator sport, but requires active participation, evangelizing the Word and serving as a Christian role model!  The St Columba “One Community” initiative affords each parishioner the opportunity to put their Catholic faith into action by volunteering as an Ambassador.
The Ambassador Program “shares the light of Christ with parishioners and St Columba visitors through acts of service that create a One Community culture.”  The goal of the Program is to encourage the growth of a “One Community” culture based upon acts of service, enthusiasm, and joyful giving.

The purpose of the Ambassador is to provide 1^st line discipleship to new / returning parishioners.  Ambassador Program volunteers welcome new individuals / families to the parish and manage the “One Community” experience before and after the liturgy.  This is accomplished through outbound telephone calls, welcome events, and engagement team activities before and after the liturgy.

Only one!
Interactions with parishioners and visitors should be measured from the lens of the 2^nd most important commandment “Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself”.

Outreach Ambassador (outbound phone calls): Obtains a list from St Columba Office staff containing names of new / returning parishioners that we wish to welcome to St Columba.  Conducts outbound calls to new parishioners to set a time and place to conduct a welcome event.
Welcome Ambassador (welcome event): Conducts the welcome event with new / returning parishioner, provides overview of St Columba parish “Time and Talent” volunteer opportunities, invites parishioner to attend church service time of their choice where the new parishioner will be met by a Liturgy Ambassador.
Mass Ambassador (Usher/Greeter or Narthex Welcome Center): Welcomes new parishioner and introduces new parishioner to Narthex Welcome Center receptionist, escorts new parishioner and seats them in a defined church location so they can be recognized by the parish, introduces new member/visitor to priests, completes necessary church registration paperwork at Narthex Welcome Center, extends greeting / farewell to departing parishioners as they exit church.
