Ushers
Contact David Hudson for more information.
Changes as of November 2000
The Ministry of Ushers functions at Mass and other special occasions, usually within the Church. There are three groups of people within the Ministry: the Head Usher at each Sunday Mass; the Lead Ushers that can substitute for the Head Usher at any given Mass and the Usher Volunteers that assist at Mass by taking up the collection.
The Usher Volunteers form a loose knit group of men, women and young adults (students) who pass the collection baskets at the time of the Offering. These people are asked to serve at the particular Mass by the Head Usher. They form as a group at the Great Crossing before going to their designated aisle or section of the Church to pass the collection baskets.
The Lead Ushers are a group of people who can be called upon to substitute for the Head Usher if he or she is not available. When substituting, the Lead Usher is responsible for assembling a staff of Volunteer Ushers needed for taking up the collection, and getting a group together to take up the gifts. At Christmas and Easter Masses, a Lead Usher may be asked to assist in directing parishioners to Communion.
Each Mass has a Head Usher who is regularly assigned. The Head Usher has a set number of duties (see Checklist link above). The Head Usher acts as Maitre d' or Head Waiter for our Eucharistic banquet. The Head Usher may greet the people as they enter the Church; should arrange to seat those who need directions; and arrange for the collection of the congregation's offering. It falls upon the Head Usher to control movement within the Church during Mass and assist in any emergency.
