Ushers
serve as the first official person to "greet"
parishioners and visitors gathering to celebrate Mass or any other
respective church function. Ushers assist with seating people, providing for
special needs people, taking up the collection and assisting with emergencies
that may occur. Ushers also serve as the last person to bid farewell to the
parishioners and visitors and hand out the weekly bulletin as they leave the
church.
The Usher Ministry is coordinated by Anne Garrison and presently has a
membership of 40 men and women which includes substitutes.
Approximately one and a half hours a week are required, of
which one hour accounts for attending mass. Should any man or woman,
age 16 or older, be interested in serving, please contact Anne at
(973) 663-5744.
