USHER GREETER GUIDELINES
 

1. Check to make sure there are enough collection baskets in place in both locations as required.

2. Select two people to bring up the gifts.

3. Greet people at the front door until the bell rings.  Answer any questions asked.  Assist with seating in crowed Masses, before and after Mass starts.

4. Arrange for a third or even fourth person to help with second collections.

5. Pass the collection baskets through the Nave (main church pew room) and carry up to the altar preceding the gifts.  Also pass the collection baskets in the church meeting room (overflow/cry room).

6. During the final hymn, two ushers/greeters should stand by the front to retrieve the collection baskets after Father passes by.

7. Deposit monies in appropriate bags in sacristy and place in drop safe.

8. Both ushers sign collection sheet as witnesses.

9. Return baskets to the small table at the bottom of the stairs to the choir loft near the Narthex, and on the rail by the Sanctuary if there has been a second collection.

10.  Straighten up the pews for dropped kneelers, misplaced books, leftover bulletins, trash, etc.

11.  Arrange for a substitute if you are not able to make your scheduled day to serve.
