Each person who enters into our church, has their day molded by how they are received. This is why this ministry is of such great importance to our liturgies as the Ushers/Greeters are the "face" of the parish. In addition to welcoming, Ushers & Greeters are expected to help find available seating when necessary, keep a watchful eye out, take up collections and assist with the distribution of bulletins at the end of Mass.
