“Serve the Lord with Spirit and make hospitality your special care” (Rom 12:11)

Ministers of Hospitality

At St. Leo Parish, the Ushers extend warmth and hospitality to everyone attending services. In addition, they have an important role in ensuring that the Liturgies run smoothly. Working with the Priest, Deacons, Lectors, E.M.H.C.’s, Altar Servers, and Musicians, the Ushers enable everyone to more fully participate in the worship service.

Responsibilities

Arriving about 1/2 hour prior to the start of the Liturgy or service, the Ushers greet everyone entering and provide each with the Worship Aide and/or other materials used in the service. They also check the Liturgical Minister sign-in book to help ensure that an ample number of Lectors and E.M.H.C.’s are present for each service. The Ushers assist in recruiting additional ministers as needed, along with people to present the gifts at Offertory.

What you should do when someone passes out during Mass?
First of all, one Usher must call 911. Secondly, an Usher or two needs to check on the fainted person. Most all our Ushers are CPR trained.

There are volume switches in the Cry Room, Commons, and Social Hall?
It has come to my attention that most Ushers don't know about the volume switches in these three areas. If you do not know where they are, please catch me (Kelly) before or after Mass so that I can show you.
