All boys and girls who have made their 1st Communion are encouraged to participate as an altar server. Servers should be mature enough to understand their responsibilities and to carry them out well. They should have already received Holy Communion for the first time.
Their formation and training will include instruction on the Mass and its parts and their meanings, the names and uses of various objects used in the liturgy, and the various functions of the server during the Mass and other liturgical celebrations. -

Men, women, and young adults welcome everyone as they arrive for Mass, coordinate the collections, assist with the Communion procession, give the parish bulletin to people after Mass, and tidy up the pews in preparation for the next liturgy. The Usher ministry at Holy Family has the general responsibility for assisting with welcoming people as they arrive, with all collections during the Mass, and with the processions for Holy Communion. Ushers also keep the church organized, collecting used worship aids and checking the pews for personal belongings after each Mass. Interested in the Usher ministry? Please contact the parish office.
Ushers at Holy Family help welcome people, pass the collection baskets, and help coordinate the flow of the Mass.
