Ushers primary duty and responsibility is to facilitate the worshipping community on entering and leaving the church building, especially providing assistance to those persons most in need. The ushers other duties include greeting and welcoming parishioners as they enter the church, assisting them in finding seats when necessary, participating in the offertory collection and on occasion distributing materials at the doors of the church at the conclusion of Mass. When needed, ushers also provide their service at other liturgical celebrations. All parishioners are welcome to consider this ministry and can make their interest known to a member of the pastoral staff.
