Ushers and hospitality ministers arrive 20-30 minutes early for Sunday Mass in order to welcome parishioners and assist any parishioners with special needs. Ushers and hospitaltiy ministers then welcome parishioners and visitors, and assist them if they need help finding a seat. During Mass, they collect and secure offertory donations. By welcoming our parishioners and guests, ushers and hospitality ministers create the "first impression" of Christ's invitation to join Him in the feast.
