Hospitality Ministers
Ushers, Ambassadors, and Safety Team
The ministry of hospitality rooted itself in the Instructions of the Mass, finds its vitalness because you are a constant visible example of the Church. This Christian hospitality is understood as a vital mission of the Church as it “draws people together, opens them to participation, and sets the tone for the liturgy.” By ones Baptism, every Christian is called to be the Light of Christ to those whom they encounter. They become a living witness of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. If someone, whether a first-timer or a regular, walks into the Church feeling seen, known, and loved, how much more could they feel when they receive Jesus Christ in the Mass, the source and summit of our faith? Thus, it is important that, by one’s attitude, conduct, and appearance, always be of utmost importance. The role of a Hospitality Minister is the “Umbrella” term for the following ministries: Usher, Safety Team, and Ambassadors.
Ministers of Hospitality at St. Timothy Catholic Church act as hosts and hostesses to warmly welcome the people of God to each liturgical celebration as well as perform various duties as required of them. In addition to welcoming, they are also responsible for assisting with the seating, taking up the collection, directing the Eucharistic procession during the Mass, distributing the parish bulletins and other materials, among other tasks. Training is provided and volunteers are always welcome.
