STEWARDSHIP
Serving your Parish as an Usher
STEWARDSHIP
Giving of your time, talent & treasure to build up the Body of Christ. We are in need of ushers. They were done away with due to Covid. Believe it or not that was 4 years ago. We should be back to normal. Liturgically, taking up the collection is part of the offertory rite and procession. It is not part of the communion rite and procession which focuses solely on the reception of the Body & Blood of Jesus Christ. “The early Christians each brought some bread and wine from their homes to the church to be used for the Mass and to be given to the clergy and the poor. Today a similar offering for the parish and the poor is made with our monetary contributions. Members of the parish will take up a collection from the assembly and bring it to the priest at the altar with the bread and wine to be used for the sacrifice”.
. herefore, I am asking you to consider serving your Parish as an Usher. A majority of you come to the same Mass weekly. If we get enough volunteers, it can be either a weekly, semimonthly or monthly commitment. I am asking you to prayerfully consider taking part in this important ministry. Any man, woman, teen, or family interested, please call the Parish Office at 856-691-7526
