The STM St. Vincent de Paul Society provides assistance to needy families and persons in the Norman and Noble Communities. Members conduct in-home visits with those persons who call the Voice Mail Assistance Line for help. During the in-home visits, members determine the type of assistance needed – usually financial assistance with bills or rent. Information is also provided to the clients on the many organizations which can help them with their problems. The group meets on Thursday after the 5:15 p.m. Mass.  Contact Jim Mattek at 872-5054.

Ushers assist the priest and other liturgical ministers in creating an atmosphere of worship. This function has several aspects to it; the most readily observable is that of greeter.  There are many other tasks and expectations associated with this role (i.e. distribute song sheets &/or bulletins; find gift bearers; seat late arrivals; assign roles for the collection; collect gifts; direct traffic during the Eucharistic procession; place hymnals back in holders; collect kneeling pads and papers left behind). The usher is a flexible position, so be ready to face the challenge of any given moment.  Contact Steve Patrick, 360-7827.
