Men and women who volunteer their time to serve as ushers serve an important role in celebrating Mass. Their duties include greeting parishioners and guests at each Mass, assist seating the handicapped, selecting bearers for the "offering", guiding the communion lines, taking up collections and securing the money, and when required, directing or assisting people during communion.
At the end of the Mass, ushers also help to straighten up the kneeler pads, and assist in organizing booklets and hymnals in preparation for the next Mass. The time required is usually 15 minutes prior to and 5 to 10 minutes after Mass. To contribute your time for this ministry, please contact the parish office at 756-3343.
