Liturgical Ministries

These men or women (age 16 and over) are charged with seeing to the proper order within the church for each celebration. They greet worshipers upon arrival and find them seating. Ushers gather the community’s personal offerings after the Liturgy of the Word, distribute weekly bulletins after Masses and check to ensure that no personal items remain in the pews after a celebration.
