Ushers are an important part of the Eucharist Celebration at St. Thomas the Apostle. The men and women who serve in this ministry are both hosts and housekeepers for the Lord’s Supper. They greet arriving parishioners and guests, making them feel welcomed, pass out the bulletins before/after Mass. They act as first responders if someone is in distress. They ensure that the church is in order before, during and after the celebration of Mass. To join this ministry volunteers should be practicing Catholics, current on Safe Environment Training and 18 years or old. Exceptions are made if parents join with their children (Jr.high -High School).
