The mission of the ushers of St. Stephen Parish is that of hospitality. Our service is to make parishioners and guests feel welcome and comfortable as we gather for our Eucharistic celebration.
Ushers serve the congregation by assisting during the celebration of the Eucharist on weekends and Holy Days. They greet people upon arrival at the church and see that they are comfortably seated and tend to any special needs. The ushers collect the offering, assure the orderly movement of worshipers during Communion, and distribute the bulletins at the end of the Liturgy.
The Usher Ministry is open to all parishioners, men, women, and students, high school age and older. We have a special need at all Masses. Ushers can serve every weekend or on an alternating basis.
