The Christian spiritual practice of hospitality focuses on the practice:
the actions,
attitude,
and welcome extended,
as well as the relationship built between the giver and receiver of hospitality.

In a hospitable parish, parishioners and guests feel they belong and are appreciated.

God is love. God gives His love to each of us. God loves us, He calls us to love one another. This Divine Love flows through the heart of the faithful steward to love others. When we are recipients of such love from others, we are attracted to follow this example. When others welcome us, we are open to welcoming others. This desire to welcome others is yet another gift of God.
