  • Ushers

    Ushers greet parishioners as they arrive for Mass, assisting them in locating seating as needed, especially for the disabled. They take up and ensure the security of collections. They arrange for parishioners to present the gifts during the preparation of the Altar, and distribute bulletins after mass. They check the church after Mass  to ensure all is in order. Training is required.

    Extraordinary Readers read assigned readings at Mass and special liturgical celebrations. They should be outgoing, friendly, and good readers with a strong voice,  must have been Confirmed, be in good standing with the Church, and be registered members of the parish. Pastoral approval, and training are required.

  • Sacristans

    Sacristans diligently arrange the liturgical books, vestments, vessels and other items necessary for the celebration of the Sacrifice of the Mass. They ensure that a supply of purificators, fresh hosts, altar wine, and other required items are available. The Sacristan must possess a clear idea of content and norms of the principle liturgical books and an understanding of the intricacies of the liturgical calendar.
