About this ministry: The ministry of ushers is the oldest lay ministry in the Catholic Church. Ushers assist parishioners as needed. They ensure the church doors are opened and locked before and after Mass, facilitate the collection and offertory, distribute bulletins, and straighten up the pews. 

​

What training is necessary? Approximately an hour is enough time for a person to learn the procedures for each Mass, where to put the collection money, which lights go on at which time, where the bulletins are, etc.

​

To whom is this ministry open? Both men and women, teenagers or older.

​

What kind of commitment is required? An usher needs to be dependable and usually attend the same Mass each weekend. Unless we gain many new volunteers for this ministry, a person usually serves every week.
