Announcements 13th - 14th December 2014, 3rd Sunday of Advent



1.     Administration (Rosters and Special Events)
a.     Special events roster for DECEMBER has been published.  All are responsible to check.  Leaders are reminded to TICK the names of those on the list attached.
b.     Group 2 will be serving the novena service next Sat, 20th Dec.
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 Nov 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.  David de Souza can only file in these records once every single entry has been acknowledged by a Group Leader.
e.     Servers are reminded that it is their responsibility to check the announcements even if they are not present for the weekend. The announcements can be found on Facebook or on the blog. However, if one is unable to secure an internet connection e.g. overseas on holiday, he is responsible to inform his Group Leader to keep him updated of any important updates.
f.      Servers are to note that they are not allowed to mark their attendance as “present” prior to serving their weekday mass. Eg. marking ‘pm’ on a particular day before that date even arrives.

2.     Mass hopping
a.     As the school holidays are approaching, servers are reminded that they are not allowed to swap masses as they please out of mere convenience. Examples of reasons that will not be accepted by Group 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.

3.     Love and Responsibility
a.     There is the Love and Responsibility session this Friday, 8:30pm. All servers sec 2 and above are to attend.

4.     Discipline (IMPORTANT)
a.     Servers who have not reported for a full society mass or any other mass they are assigned to are to fill in the Letter of Excuse within the week.

5.     Junior Servers Retreat (IMPORTANT)
a.     All servers who are involved in the retreat (facils, participants, etc.) are only required to serve 1 weekday mass this week.
b.     All servers attending the retreat are reminded to bring the EZ link card.
