This ministry is by invitation and appointment by the Bishop. Ushers Ushers play an important role welcoming the community as we gather for Mass or prayer service. Ushers are a welcoming presence to those who have questions, who may be new to the parish or just visiting. They also assist with the collection and with good order in the assembly. Mass. Greeters should be friendly, inviting, and like to make people feel welcome.
