Ushering is a great privilege and a sacred duty. Ushers have one of the most valuable and important tasks to perform in the worship service. It is up to the ushers to keep order, to help create a spirit of worship, reverence, and friendliness in and about the church. When the Church comes together to celebrate Mass, the users are the first to greet the faithful and welcome them. The ushers are the first to recognize any special needs of a person and make sure those needs are met. They are the representatives of the parish to the people who come to worship at JORS. Visitors receive their first impression of the parish from the ushers. The safety and security of the faithful are a major concern of the ushers during Mass. Any irregularities are to be noted by the ushers and discussed amongst themselves of the appropriate action to be taken.
Please contact the parish office if you are interested in this ministry.
