Next weekend in Fr. Joe’s “State of the Parish” address he will reintroduce an idea started last year; requesting that each and every CTR member (including the kiddos) purchase permanent, reusable, magnetic nametags and wear them each time we come to CTR for Mass or any other event so that we may grow deeper in our relationships and common union with one another.
Here are a few compelling reasons to wear a nametag…
- Nobody remembers everybody in the church. As our church grows, that task becomes even more difficult. Nametags allow us to admit that struggle while providing a way to overcome it.
- Nametags invite conversation. Knowing another person’s name breaks down one barrier to conversations. It’s simply easier to talk with others when you are on a first-name basis.
- Nametags save embarrassment. We’ve probably all called someone by the wrong name, only to realize it later (or perhaps even within the same conversation). This is embarrassing for both parties.
- Nametags are an inexpensive way to promote outward focus. Using nametags is one way to say, “We expect God to send us guests, and we want to be ready for them.”
