The reception team undertakes reception duties at the monastery in order to support the work of the parish clergy and office team. Duties involve answering the phone, transferring calls, taking and receiving messages, answering the door, receiving visitors, selling Mass cards and dealing with enquiries.
Confidentiality is essential and must be maintained at all times.
Each member of the reception team manages the reception for a fixed 2 hour period from Monday to Saturday. There are some floaters who stand in to cover any absence.
Training is provided by the group organiser. New members are welcome to volunteer for reception duties particularly to cover occasional absences and holiday periods. If you would like to help contact the parish office and your details will be passed to the organiser.
The piety shop aims to supply a variety of religious cards and items for sale at a reasonable price. The shop holds a selection of cards and gifts for all occasions.
During the year cards and gifts are available for Baptism, First Communion, Confirmation, Christmas, Easter, Mothers' Day and St Patrick's Day. All profits made from sales are donated to Project Zimbabwe.
The piety shop is open after Sunday Masses
If you would like any cards or other items please remember to support the parish repository. New helpers and salespersons are always welcome to join the team.

Bishop Eton Parish is fully compliant with national safeguarding regulations. Anyone who volunteers to join a parish group or activity involving children or vulnerable adults, as a helper must undergo a DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check. Leaders of such parish groups will refer the volunteer to the parish office so that the Parish Safeguarding Officer can administer the process. Volunteers will only be added to the group rota when the DBS check has been received.
