What Do We Do
The Ministry's role requires both knowledge of liturgy and the ability to perform inconspicuously the functional details that help create good liturgy:
- Greet those gathering for the celebration of Mass
- Receive the collection from the community
- Help direct the community to receive Communion
- Help make the church building a warm and clean place to visit
- Smile a lot: help foster a warm, friendly atmosphere at Mass.
Two Ministries are included in the description of Hospitality
The Ushers
At each service, the Ushers are reponsible for handing out weekly bulletins and/or Parish Voice. They help individuals find seating and provide direction or render assistance when needed Ushers also collect the weekly offering and guide the offertory procession. They choose parishoners to carry the elements of Bread and wine and the offering to the Altar.
Greeters
These are the hosts and hostesses of the worship service.It is the responsibility of the Greeters to welcome and identify visitors or guests, introduce themselves and answer any questions they may have. We are the ones who welcome you at Mass. We help create a sense of community so you can experience the Mass in a peaceful way.
