of those on the list attached.

c.
Servers who have ended their
exams are to serve 2 weekday masses, with at least one being a morning mass or
a special events mass that starts in the morning.
d.
Group Leaders are expected to
acknowledge and record all VRs dated Sep 2014 and later near the sink
immediately after mass and before
they leave. Due to inaction, this has led to
unnecessary and unsightly clutter there.

serving holy hour service this Thu, 6th Nov. Servers to report at 750pm for training by their leaders. Group 5 sacristans

2.
Mass hopping
a.
As the school holidays are
approaching, servers are reminded that they are not allowed to swap masses out
of mere convenience. Examples of reasons that will not be accepted by leaders
are these.
i. Serving the Saturday sunset mass just because one’s group is
serving the Novena service before that.
ii. Serving another mass time just because there is no catechism class
during the holidays.
b.
In addition, all whose
serving at mass will be affected by changes in catechism class times next year
are to inform Justin Yeo as soon as possible and to indicate their preferred
mass times. The administration department will do their best to assign your
preferred time provided that the total number of members, number of Group
Leaders and number of Sacristans for each mass are manageable.

5.
Prayers before mass
