Our Lady of Mount Virgin Church welcomes men and women who are needed to create an atmosphere of warmth and hospitality at our parish liturgies as ushers.  Ushers welcome people at the door and assist our parishioners to their seats.  Ushers are also responsible for the collections at Mass.  Ushers are known as the gatekeepers of the church and Saint Steven is their patron.  One must welcome everyone as though they are welcoming Jesus Himself.
