Suggestions on Choice of Offertory Couples
We have received some comments that the same offertory couples are being used all the time.
As such, here are some suggestions of offertory couple combinations we can try to use:
1) An offertory couple (preferably related to each other) can comprise of either:
a) Husband & Wife (most common)
b) Father and Daughter
c) Mother and Daughter
d) Mother and Son
e) Brother and Sister
f) 2 sisters (or cousin sisters) - they can both be single
g) Grandfather and Granddaughter (preferably after confirmation or teenager after 1st Holy Communion)
h) Grandmother and Granddaughter (preferably after confirmation or teenager after 1st Holy Communion)
i) 2 Mother In Laws
2) Basic requirements for Offertory Couples
a) Both are Baptized Catholics
b) Preferably adults after confirmation
c) For young people - preferably teenagers after 1st Holy Communion
3) Dress code
a) Decently Dressed
b) For men - preferably slacks and shoes
c) For ladies - no mini skirts, bare backs, low cuts and etc.
d) For both men and ladies - no shorts and slippers,
e) Jeans - only if no other volunteer can be found
f) "Wrap around sandals" for men - only if no other volunteer can be found
We welcome further suggestions and if you can think of anything else to add to the guidelines for offertory couples, please feel free to send Erwin an e-mail.

Reading of Bible on hand phones during Mass
There have been many questions asked about the reading of the Bible on hand phones during Mass.
The following is an extract from the Minutes of the 1st SIC Parish Coordinating Council Meeting for 2010 held on 28th January 2010:
#7.0 - (5)
Reading of Gospel passage and Word of the Lord on the hand phone is not allowed even for valid reasons because of ruling of no hand phone usage in church during Mass. A number of Sunday Missals are available in church. They are to be returned after use.
Trust the above is self explanatory.
