Thank you for this! My husband is a FOCUS missionary at a parish and we talk often about being intentional about building up the community among the people we see at mass each week. We're total introverts but we've seen the incredible things that come from making that first move toward connection. I'll also for sure be stealing that Open House idea--so good!

I love this! I definitely struggle with the stress of feeling like the house is too much of a disaster to host anyone, especially since we moved into a fixer upper that we’re still very much in the process of fixing up.
