Ushers Ministry

Mission Statement


Our mission on the Ushers Ministry is to make people feel welcome, wanted, valued and special. We are the first persons that people meet when they come to church. We are the doorkeepers in the house of the Lord.

Purpose

The purpose of this ministry is to provide the logistical services that allow the Masses to run smoothly and attend to the special details that are part of large gatherings. Ushers are always needed, especially here, at Holy Cross Church.

What are the Activities of the Ministry?

To welcome people into the church and escort them to a pew as required. During the services the ushers are available to handle any kind of emergencies, go down the aisles where they are stationed and take up the collections. Also they shake hands with as many people as they can during the Sign of Peace.

They select the family or group for the presentation of the gifts at the offertory and direct the flow of traffic during Communion. When the Mass is over, they hand out the bulletins or assist the community in other handouts when it is necessary.

The only thing you need to bring to this job is a willingness to provide service to Holy Cross Church. If you are new we will provide training.
