The Ushers Club was founded July 7, 1947. The organization has maintained its constant presence over the past 50 years, assisting parishioners during services. Today the Ushers are Ministers of Hospitality, greeting the people as they enter the church. In the early years the Ushers helped with many projects and fund raising events for the parish. In 1955 the first parish picnic was held and the Ushers hopelessly lost their baseball game but not their spirit. In December the same year the Ushers took over the gala Feather Party, i.e., a card party with turkeys for prizes, which was a great success. The Ushers have always had a philosophy of "Share the Wealth" and to this day still sell 50/50 tickets to benefit the parish.
