Ministers of Hospitality/Ushers at St. Martin de Porres Catholic Church serve Godby offering their Stewardship of time and talent in order to minister to our brothers and sisters through acts of hospitality that welcome allinto Sacred space for Divine Worship.
By warmly greeting the people of God here at our Parish, Ministers of Hospitality are in fact the first to greet and welcome Jesus in each of us and thus “Usher in” the Mystical Body of Christ to each and every liturgical celebration, as well as perform other various duties and responsibilities as required of them.
Many hands make light work and we need a few more hands...especially at the 4:00 pm, 8:00 am and 10:00 am Masses. Please prayerfully consider giving of your time!
Please contact the Parish Office at 770-334-4214 if you would like to be part of our Ministry.
An Usher’s Prayer
Lord, you make all kinds of people, even people like me. In your love, you gather them all into your Church.
As you gather your people this day, help me to serve them in a Christ-like manner, even as your Son served those who gathered about him.
Make me prayerful and patient, helpful and understanding, and may I radiate the joy that faith brings as I serve their needs. Give me your strength to support my fellow ministers.
May all who assemble to celebrate our common faith in the risen Savior be glad of heart for being here and for having encountered your Son in one another, in Your servant-priest, at the tables of the Word and Sacrament, and through the Ministry of Hospitality… Ushers like me.
I ask this in Jesus’ name.
Amen.
Thank you to all our Ministers of Hospitality! May God Bless you!
