Following the example of Jesus who welcomes everyone to the Table, we too are called to offer hospitality and welcome to everyone in the name of the Lord. The minister of Usher / Greeter as a member of the parish community welcomes everyone, offering hospitality. The ministers are to greet people warmly, to introduce strangers, to help people sit together, to care for any needs (someone who is ill and needs assistance, or other emergencies), to take up the collection, to help with good order at communion, to distribute bulletins after Mass, and to direct people to coffee int he parish hall.
