Hospitality Ministry (Ushers & Greeters)

What a great problem!!! We have lots of people coming to Mass!

St. Cornelius has been blessed with many people who wish to worship with us Sunday after Sunday.

We are grateful for the outstanding Ministers of Hospitality who greet each person and welcome them in the name of Christ into this House of God. The suggestion has been made that in addition to the Ministers of Hospitality, we should have Ushers. At some Masses people are standing 3 and 4 deep around the church. Often times there are seats available, but people are hesitant to move. Ushers would help to facilitate a quiet, prayerful way of finding a seat for everyone.

If you wish to be a Minister of Hospitality or an Usher, please contact Maggie Lyons at (610) 388-1260 and leave a message.

If you can't be an Usher...

A friend of mine who was visiting said that maybe we should use the Disney World approach for seating. I was perplexed when he said that. But, he explained to me that in Disney World everyone is asked to...

...move to the middle.
