Ushers

Ushers and greeters have the privilege of making the first official contact with those who gather for the Sunday Celebration of Mass. 

Among the servants of God who compose the membership of our community, ushers are called upon to provide a very special service in the exercise of a true liturgical ministry.  Each arriving person needs to experience the feeling of belonging, a sense that it is good to be here.   Perhaps more than any other ministry, ushers need to be people oriented.  Strangers need to be put at ease, visitors to be welcomed and the physically and mentally challenged need to experience the love of a Christian community.

There is always a need for additional ushers -- new parishioners are always welcome.  For more information contact Nancy Irwin at St. Edward or Mary Sheedy at St. Jude.
