A Saint James Catholic Church usher is responsible for seating individuals and families before Mass, assigning gift bearers, assisting in the distribution of the collection baskets, and helping to assure the orderly flow of people during Communion. After Mass has ended, ushers will hand out the bulletins to exiting parishioners/visitors and will clean up the assigned seating section to ensure the church is ready for the next scheduled Mass. The usher is an active, crucial part of the church, and typically, 1-2 times per month of service is requested.
