Eucharistic ministers of the host serve on a simple rotation. Ministers of the Cup serve on the second Sunday of each month.

USHERS

The ushers, along with the greeters, offer a welcome to all who come to worship. They represent the assembly as they gather our gifts and bring them to the altar. Ushers establish order, assist in emergencies, and provide help to people who are elderly or handicapped who may find it difficult to enter or exit the Church building.
