this requirement due to a valid excuse are to submit a letter of excuse signed
by their parents.
e.
All appointment holders going
on holiday are to ensure that their duties are covered by an able replacement
during their time of leave. Being on
holiday is not an excuse to neglect one’s duty. The
appointment holders are to inform their heads of their replacements.
f.
Servers that wish to serve a
weekend mass other than their original mass group, are required to inform BOTH
their group leaders, as well as the group leaders of the group they intend to
serve with. If a server fails to do this, the group leaders have a right to
disallow him from serving mass, after a warning, if their reason for not
informing the Group Leaders of the mass switch, is insufficient.

to take responsibility for their sacristan duties by ensuring they know when
they are.
b.
Sacristans are to also ensure
they arrive early enough to set up for mass.
8.
Vestments*
a.
All servers are to ensure
they do not leave any of the vestments entrusted to them (Cassocks, Capes,
Sashes) in the Sacristy for more than 12 hours. Even if they may be serving
mass later in the day, these vestments should be kept, and not should be left
behind in the sacristy, with exceptions allowed on a case-by-case basis.
b.
This is to ensure that
servers remain responsible for these vestments which have been entrusted unto
them, bearing in mind that these vestments do not belong to them, and will
ultimately be returned to the society once these servers retire. (except in the
case a server purchases his own vestments).
c.
This is also to emphasise
that serving is a privilege and not a right, and therefore servers should take
better care of the vestments in which they serve.
d.
Any cassock found to be left
in the Sacristy after this weekend, WILL BE CONFISCATED.
