Ministry of Ushers, Greeters and Collectors
This ministry sets the tone for worship. The usher, who should be comfortable meeting and greeting others, extends a sense of welcome to others prior to prayer. Such qualities are a blessing, especially to the stranger or to those who do not attended Mass in our parish on a regular basis. Greeters are stationed at each door of the church as people arrive for worship. They ensure the smooth flow of movement of people during the Presentation of Gifts, Communion and Good Friday Adoration of the Cross. They are expected to addresses instances of emergency or commotion during liturgical celebrations. They account for the collection during the Offertory and second collections.

Ministry of Sacristans
The Sacristan Ministry is a “behind-the-scenes” service which can be performed by individuals who wish to perform a needed service, but do not wish to be visible to the congregation. The entire service of this ministry occurs before and after the Mass Liturgy. The sacristan is tasked to set up the sacred vessels before Mass. After Mass, the sacristan takes the vessels to the sacristy and sets them on the counter. The Priest or Deacon purifies the sacred vessels (ciboria, chalice), which contain the body and blood of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
