Ushering Ministry
 

                                                                            
Purpose: The Ushering Ministry welcomes parishioners to mass and expedites their seating.  We try to get the front chapel as full as possible and then begin to fill the rear of the chapel saving the last three pews on each side of the church for late parishioners.  Make sure all needs are taken care of including hearing devices, seating handicapped parishioners and assisting bread  and wine ministers in distributing communion to those who are not able to proceed to the altar.
