The mission of the Usher and Greeter at Maria Lanakila Parish is that of hospitality. Our service makes parishioners and guests feel welcome and comfortable as we gather for our Eucharistic celebration. Our ushers and greeters are able to see the presence of Christ in each person as he or she arrives. Skillful ushers and greeters ensure that people experience love and kindness upon entering church.
Ministers of Hospitality play a crucial role as visible signs of Christ’s unconditional love in the church. They distribute materials related to the service, such as bulletins, handouts, etc., be ready for any emergency that may arise, relieving the need or contacting the person(s) needed to provide the proper assistance, assist people for seating especially physically challenged, oversee the right atmosphere conducive for the celebration of the Holy Eucharist.
Maria Lanakila Parish welcomes new Ushers and Greeters. Please call the parish office at 661-0552 if you are interested in this ministry.
