Ushers and Greeters
-
Ministers of Hospitality
Greeters - Just as we greet guests to our home, make them feel welcome, and tend to their needs; so do the ministers of hospitality make the members of the assembly feel welcome and comfortable as they gather for liturgy.
Greeters help create a sense of welcome and hospitality as the extend a sense of welcome to others and make them feel at home. Such qualities are a blessing, especially to the stranger in our midst.
Ushers - Ushers are responsible for preparing the church for the liturgy, give out worship aids and escort people to their seats. During the liturgy, they attend to the needs of the celebration while remaining alert to needs of the people. Their presence is a sign of welfare, comfort and security for the assembly.
Much is expected from our greeters and ushers: they are busy with many things, but, always there to serve.
All greeters and ushers will receive adequate training regarding responsibilities and safety issues before being assigned to serve the assembly. At the present time, there is a great need for greeters and ushers. If you can serve, please call the rectory.
