Chinese New Year Mass 10.30am 3rd February 2011

The following are the HM duties during the 10.30am Chinese New Year Day Mass on 3rd February 2011:

a) There will be NO collection.

b) HMs (English & Mandarin) will be required to monitor communion.

c) Fr. Lucas, Fr. Anthony & Fr. Phillip Tan will be giving out Ang Pows after Mass at 3 stations, (i.e 2 in front of the altar and 1 in front of the tabernacle). HMs are required to maintain orderly traffic flow of the congregation and ensure that the parishioners don't rush.

d) The Communion Ministers will be giving out the oranges (2 per parishioner) after Mass at 6 stations (i.e. 1 at each of the 2 side doors on the left and right doors of the church building and 2 at the main door). HMs are required to maintain orderly traffic flow of the congregation/parishioners.

e) Parking lots directly in front of the main church building will be cordoned off for the Lion Dance and setting off of the Firecrackers. The Firecrackers are sponsored by the SIC Hospitality Ministry. HMs are required to ensure that there is enough space for the lion dance and to keep the congregation/parishioners from crowding around the area and a safe distance away from the firecrackers.

Hope to see many of you at the Chinese New Year Day Mass and thanks in advance for the assistance.

We wish all our HM Brother and Sisters and their families a Very Blessed, Wonderful, Fulfilling, Fantastic, Fabulous, Fun, Prosperous and Happy Chinese New Year. Xin Nien Kwai Ler and God bless.

Many thanks to all HMs for their help after Mass.

A big Thank You to Brother Jason and Sister Grace

You may have noticed that the Green/Purple sashes have been without "odour" over the past weeks.

It is a bit belated but many thanks to Jason and Grace Yap for helping out with the laundry again.

May God bless them and their family.
