Hospitality Ministry: Ushers and Greeters

Our Lady of the Valley and Saint Raphael
The first contact with the assembly gathering for the celebration of the Liturgy is an important first impression of the the spirit of the community.  Welcoming newcomers as well as familiar parish members is an important ministry; men and women whose loving presence offers hospitality and orientation are crucial in distributing worship aids, bulletins and taking up the monetary gifts of the people, among other duties.  The commitment is usually for the Mass of your choice, with opportunities to assist at other times, especially during Holy Days and Feasts.  If you are interested in assisting in this capacity, please contact the Liturgy office for additional information and training.
