Stewardship, Returning Our First Fruits The Usher Ministry

provides a great way to serve a very important

role here at St. Alphonsus!

In addition to Ushers greeting parishioners with a warm smile making them feel welcomed and

appreciated, they have diverse duties that are vital to Mass running smoothly.

Men and women age 18+ are needed to serve as Ushers at Mass. We are looking for reliable,

energetic, caring people for Saturdays at 5:00pm, and Sundays at 8:30am.

If you are interested in training to become an

Usher or have any questions, contact Curt, Head Usher, at 847-392-2337.
