Leviticus 19:32 ..... Rise in the presence of the aged, show respect for the elderly and revere your God. I am the LORD.
We have made 4pcs of removable/mobile "Reserved for the elderly" signage. A photograph of how it is hung at the edge of the church pew is shown below.
The reasons for the removable signage are:
1) The back pews may be occupied by younger parishioners when the church is not full (eg. during weekday masses or when there are few elderly parishioners in the congregation).
2) It gives us flexibility to reserve pews for the elderly at other locations as and when necessary.

For the time being, only the centre pews on the last row at the back of the church is to be reserved for the elderly. 2 photographs showing the location at which the signs are to be hung is shown below.
The decision as to whether to reserve the pews for the elderly is in the hands of the HM Leader for that particular Mass. However, after Mass, please return (keep back) the signage to the usual drawer.
