 The Ushers ' Club consists of thirty or less men of the parish . They are chosen to join the club by the authority of the church . All members are required to do their job as " ushers " during Mass . This job entails showing people to available seats , telling parishioners when it is the right time to rise and get in line for communion , and collecting the monetary offerings of the parishioners during the presenting of the gifts to the altar . Members of the Ushers ' Club also serve the church by volunteering their time and labor at the social activities of the parish .
