Ushers & Greeters
As ushers and greeters we extend Christ’s love, warmth and hospitality to newcomers and parishioners arriving at St. Norbert Church for Mass. Ushers are men and women who assist with seating and facilitate the collection and communion aspects of Mass. Greeters are individuals and often entire families who join together with the Holy Spirit to welcome our community into our sacred place of worship.

As members of the Altar Care Ministry, we maintain the appearance of the church (including the sacristy, sanctuary, and vestibule), through cleaning, polishing, and upkeep of the sacred space, caring for the linens and vestments, and keeping the church building in order. We use our creative talents for this ministry once a week, after the Friday 8:30 a.m. Mass. "Many hands make light work."

Children’s Liturgy of the Word
Children’s Liturgy of the Word provides a wonderful opportunity for children to hear and understand the Sunday Scripture readings. Each week during the 9 a.m. Sunday Mass, children from Grades 1-4 are invited to participate in the Children’s Dismissal just before the first reading.
In the Ministry Center Library, trained adult leaders emphasize a “kid’s point-of-view.” The Gospel is proclaimed from a special Lectionary for Children, followed by a discussion relevant to the lives of the children. The children return to the larger assembly in time for the Liturgy of the Eucharist. For more information, please contact Michele Desbiens at (714) 999-2710 or email michele@ponderosapm.com.
