Ushers faithfully perform their duties for our parishioners and guests during the weekend Masses and on Holy Days of Obligation. In addition to the more familiar tasks of passing out the collection baskets during Mass and distributing church bulletins after Mass, ushers carry out a number of important tasks to serve the people of our grouping.  These include:

• Greeting the parishioners and visitors as they enter the church for Mass
• Finding seating for congregants when the church is crowded 
• Helping the disabled and if requested, arranging to have Holy Communion brought to their pews.
• Ensuring that congregants are available for the Offertory Presentation of the Gifts.
• Answering any questions that our parishioners or guests may have or directing them to the appropriate person if the usher does not know the answer

Ushers also serve at funeral Masses to honor the deceased members of our parish.  They are on hand to assist the family and funeral attendees, especially those who may not be familiar with our churches.

At least one usher at each Mass must be CPR and AED (Automatic external defibrillator) certified.
