Ushers greet and welcome mass attendees at the church entrance ways. they assist attendees as needed with finding a seat, paying particular attention to those with special needs. When late-comers arrive, ushers help minimize disruptions by asking them to momentarily stand by during the readings and the priest’s homily.

Ushers are also responsible for passing around the collection baskets. During communion, they assist the eucharistic ministers by pointing out those who cannot proceed through the communion line and therefore need communion brought to them.

Once the mass is over, ushers stand by the church doors to  field any questions from visitors They also straighten up all the pews by collecting trash, putting hymnals in their proper places, picking up articles left behind.

Should you wish to join our team of Greeters/Ushers please contact the parish Office

Music in Catholic worship is not merely an add-on; it is an essential aspect of the liturgy that enables the faithful to participate more deeply in the celebration of the sacred mysteries. Rooted in both Scripture and Tradition, music serves to unite the congregation and elevate the soul, guiding all towards a deeper encounter with God Therefore, it can be concluded that music holds a unique and indispensable role in Catholic worship. Should you wish to join and participate in the music ministry as a singer or musician please speak with the Music leaders after mass or contact the parish office .
