As we develop plans, in accordance with the guidance from the Archdiocese of Washington, for opening Sacred Heart Church for public Masses, we find that we will need many volunteers to assist us before, during and after Masses on the weekend.
Ushers:
We will need about 8 ushers per Mass on the weekend to help direct parishioners to the pews upon arriving at church, during Communion, and exiting at the end of Mass. They will ensure folks are wearing face masks while in the church. Other specific duties will be outlined at a meeting for ushers to be held the week of June 1. Ushers must be 18 years or older and can be men and women.
Cleaning Crews:
Under the new guidelines, the church will need to be disinfected between Masses. We are looking for people, possibly families, to clean the church. Basically, it will involve wiping down pews, door handles, and the one bathroom. We would need at least 4 people per crew and 4 crews a weekend. Crews must be 14 years or older – boys and girls. More instructions will be provided to the crews the week of June 1.
When you respond, let us know if it is for the usher and/or cleaning crew position(s) and which Mass you would attend to usher or clean after. Also, we will need your phone number and email.
Thank you for your assistance.
