The Ministry of Hospitality
“Whoever receives you, receives me, and whoever receives me, receives the one who sent me.” - Matthew 10:40
Ministers of Hospitality/Ushers Ministry – Ministers of Hospitality/Ushers for St. Thomas More Catholic Church act as the liaisons for our parish to warmly welcome God’s people to each liturgical celebration.
Usher History
The ministry of hospitality/ushers is one of the oldest ministries in the Catholic Church. During the time of our Lord and Savior, our predecessors were known as “doorkeepers,” and numbered in the hundreds. Around the 3rd century, AD ushers were known as “Porters,” used to guard the doors against intruders that may disrupt services.
