Administration (Rosters and Special Events)

Special events roster for JANUARY has been published. All are responsible to check. Leaders are reminded to TICK the names of those on the list attached.
As the new year begins soon, all servers are to take note of their new groupings (whether they are affected by the catechism class time changes or not) and serve the right mass times and novenas.
Group 1 (of the new groupings) will be serving the novena service next Sat, 3rd Dec.
Servers who are still on holiday are to serve 2 weekday masses (1 morning and 1 evening)
Group Leaders are expected to acknowledge and record all VRs dated Dec 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.
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.

5. Liturgy (IMPORTANT)

a. It has been noticed that some servers do not participate during the responses at mass e.g. not saying “and with your spirit” at the appropriate times.

b. It has also been noticed that some servers still do not bow their heads when the celebrant invites all to pray at the Collect and Prayer after communion.

c. In addition, others keep their heads up and observe the congregation instead of praying after they have received communion and returned to kneel at their seats.

d. Servers who are practising such habits are to rectify them immediately. Group Leaders to teach and ensure.

6. Discipline (IMPORTANT)

a. Servers and sacristans are reminded that the failure to report for a special events mass without a valid reason will not be taken lightly. This is because there is a much higher risk that all duty servers are absent as compared to other masses. In addition, an absent sacristan may cause a major delay to the start of that mass/service.

b. To allow sacristans and servers to make amends if through their own fault, they have missed their duty,

i. The server/sacristan will be warned verbally by the President and assigned for one additional special events mass if this is their first mistake of the year.

ii. The server/sacristan will be warned verbally by the President and assigned for two additional special events masses if this is their second mistake of the year.

iii. If this occurs a third time in the year, the server will be liable for further disciplinary action.

c. Efforts are made to ensure servers are given at least one weekend before the special event to find a replacement if they cannot report for their duties. If this is not possible, special events ICs have been briefed to call affected servers to inform them. The special events ICs are not responsible to find a replacement for a server unless under extreme circumstances e.g. major illness, accident.
