The following are some notes for the Easter Vigil on Saturday April 23, 2011 at 10.30pm.

• i) No candles are allowed upstairs for safety reasons (There were some parishioners who lighted their candles upstairs during the 6.45am Mass on Easter Sunday. They somehow escaped detection.Therefore, the 6.45am Mass Team, please take note).


• ii) Children are NOT allowed to hold candles (due to wax being dropped all over the floor/pews and the lack of volunteers to clean/remove the wax afterwards).


• iii) A sufficient amount of plastic chairs will placed inside the church (on Saturday morning) and NO extra plastic chairs will be allowed into the church before or during mass.


• As usual, the HM dress code shall be light (preferably white) colored shirt/blouse/dress and dark (preferably black) colored pants/skirt.


• Our Brother Brian Bok shall be the Chief for the Easter Vigil Mass.

Cleaning of Palms - Saturday April 16, 2011

As per tradition, the Hospitality Ministry have been requested to clean the palms for Palm Sunday. The cleaning of the palms will take place on Saturday April 16, 2011 and volunteers, please be at SIC (garden/sitting area behind the training center next to the funeral parlour) at 8.30am. The palms will be cleaned using a brush and a wet cloth, which we kindly request that all volunteers bring one each from home. Long palms need to be cut into 2 or 3 smaller pieces and therefore, please bring along a large scissors and gloves if possible. All HMs are urged to assist because we need as much help as we can get.
