Ushers In general, ushers carry the responsibility for the following:

1. Seating those assembled for Liturgy and especially taking special efforts to seat the faithful during the natural breaks in the Mass.
2. Attending to the needs of the disabled through such things as holding doors open or locating places for wheelchairs and walkers.
3. Making sure that the gifts of bread and wine are in their proper places before Mass and asking members of the assembly to bring forth the gifts at the Offertory.
4. Circulating the collection receptacles.
5. Assisting the handicapped in receiving Holy Communion as well as facilitating the Communion procession.
6. Smile, which not only magnifies your true inner sincerity and sensitivity but is an international sign of welcome to all the faithful.
