Ushers / Greeters
Who We Are & What We Do
At St. Ann’s, we want every person who walks through our doors to feel welcomed and valued. Our Ushers/Greeters Ministry plays a vital role in creating a warm and inviting environment for all who come to worship. Whether it’s offering a friendly greeting, helping people find seats, or assisting with the flow of the liturgy, we ensure that everyone feels at home in our parish.
Why We Exist
Jesus teaches us to welcome the stranger and serve one another with love. As ushers and greeters, we live out this call by creating a warm and organized worship environment. Our ministry ensures that Mass runs smoothly by helping people find seats, facilitating the offertory collection, and guiding the Communion procession. We also serve as information resources, assisting parishioners with questions about the parish and its ministries. In times of emergency, we are trained to respond calmly and direct first responders as needed. By offering hospitality and support, we help everyone feel at home in our faith community
Who We Serve
We serve the entire St. Ann’s faith community by ensuring that every person who attends Mass feels welcomed, informed, and supported throughout their worship experience.
