Ministry Expo Planning Guide
A Ministry Expo or Fair may be the answer for your parish where all parish organizations and ministries set up a booth or table to inform parishioners what they are all about. An Expo puts potential volunteers in face-to-face communication with people who have experience with volunteer activities at the parish. An Expo invites personal commitment and gives potential volunteers a chance to find out what kinds of stewardship opportunities are available to them. The excitement of volunteers rubs off on others who are just in the “thinking it over” stage.
