Ministry of Ushers

The Ministry of Ushers is a vital part of a vibrant weekend Mass. Ushers take a head count of all the people present in church at Mass. They take up the offertory collection. They must be friendly, caring, out-going and willing to serve all parishioners in a Christ-like manner. They also assist in seating people when Mass is crowded, such as during the Christmas Masses.

Meetings: Wednesday, as needed.
