The Executive Committee of St. Roch’s Church is organizing a new group,. the St. Roch Ambassadors, to bring the parish census up-to-date. When that task is completed the Ambassadors will act as a welcoming group to new neighbors and will keep the parish files current.
Joe Botz is in charge of the new program, which will include some forty to forty-five ambassadors when it is completed. Each ambassador will be responsible for a particular area and will contact each resident in that area. Joe hopes to have all the ambassadors ready to go by November 1st and to have the census completed by the end of this year.
The Ambassador group will welcome new residents in each area. They will bring newcomers information about services at St. Roch’s, information on the neighborhood . organization and block units in their block, a fact sheet on such things as trash pick-ups, etc., a copy of The Paper, and generally perform any service they can to welcome new neighbors to our neighborhood.
If you see someone wearing the badge pictured on page 4, you’ll know a St. Roch’s Ambassador is at work.
