The Greeter Usher ministry is to foster a sense of welcoming and belonging among those assembled at prayer. This minister is the first contact made with anyone who enters the worship space, and s/he represents the intent of the community to welcome and embrace all who come to share prayer. This is a direct service, often a physical one, as this minister opens doors, smiles a greeting, or lends assistance to those in need.
Responsibilities include: passing out worship aids, inviting people to be cross bearer and presenters of the gifts, taking up the offering, helping with good flow during the communion procession, informing the priest or deacon of people who require special assistance receiving communion, distributing bulletins, and after Mass, placing the offering in designated place as well as ensuring the neatness of the worship space.
