ACTIVITIES AND GUIDELINES

 

 BECOMING AN USHER

 Any member of our faith community can be an usher. Assigned Ushers commit to being on a four-member team for the same mass for at least four and not more than six monthly assignments per year. Unassigned Ushers commit to being alternates who can be contacted to substitute when an assigned usher cannot attend a specific mass. All ushers are needed for special liturgies throughout the liturgical year, especially during Easter and Christmas.

Mass Captains:

9:00 – Gordon Grant   5:30 – George Salemi

10:30 – Carol Mullally-Druhot   7:30 – Jules Parrella

12:15 – Marlene Meehan

COMMITMENT AND UNDERSTANDING

Ministry Promise: Show Christ’s love for all; demonstrate everyone is welcome; hope all depart feeling commendable because they were here.

· Attend a one-on-one training session; commit to at least four, and not more than six monthly assignments per year.

· Captains for each Mass insure a full complement of ushers at every liturgy and foster uniformity by supporting all procedures and guidelines.

  An usher who becomes unable to fulfill an assignment is responsible for finding a replacement, and then notifying the Usher Captain.

· We use the Internet and telephone to be informed and stay current.

· Dress codes: badges worn by all. Blue blazer for men and blue or black jackets for women.

· Arrive about 20 minutes before Mass begins…. always check and discuss  unusual circumstances with fellow ushers before the liturgy begins.
