Lectors Schedule for January, 2019

Dear Lectors,

Please find enclosed the first schedule of the New Year. The lector assignments for the Mass on January 1st, Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God, have been included in the December schedule.

It's been a while since we had lector training. To keep the reading at St Anne's at a high standard, Maria Lee and I are planning a session in January, and another session in February. We plan to invite some people who read well to demonstrate and you will hear feedback on your reading. We hope you can come to one that suits your schedule. It will most likely be on a Sunday afternoon as that is the day off for our Filipina sisters. Details to follow! 

It has been encouraging to see reliable young people participate in this ministry. We have Leah Gillette, Aidan Jackson, Jamie McGraw, Hannah Tan - reliably preparing and reading for the people of St Anne's. Bravo!

In closing, I thank you one and all for your service throughout 2018. May you enjoy the peace and joy of Christmas united with your family and spending time with friends.

With gratitude,Vivian

Lector Schedule for September 2018

Dear Lectors, 

Father Cuff has designated 2 September as Service Sunday. On that day, there will be sign-ups for the lector ministry.

I encourage you to sign up and if there are other family members including teenage children who might be interested, please encourage them to sign up too! Occasionally, we receive comments from visitors who remarked that the Proclaimed Word is of high quality in St Anne's.

Of course, there is room for improvement. We will arrange lector training sessions for everyone, new and old, to improve their reading skills in October. You will have a chance to practice reading and given feedback, and we will invite people who read well to demonstrate for us. 

To give you a taste of how to improve your reading, take a look at the Simple Suggestions for Reading Well attachment. The most important of all the points though is to PREPARE, PREPARE and PREPARE.

Finally, the September schedule is attached. If you cannot make your allotted time, please arrange for someone to replace you.

Thank you very much and God Bless!

Lectors Schedule for July 2018

Dear Lectors,

The July schedule is attached and I have accommodated all known absences.

We have a Broadcast Mass on 1st July, with Patrick Kaye doing the commentary and John Mulligan reading.Because many readers are away for holiday and there is a shortage of readers, I could not help but put some lectors on DOUBLE DUTY.  Please make a note of your assigned dates.

Finally, our Parish Feast Day will be on 22nd July. On that day, 10 am Chinese Mass and the 11:15 English Mass will be cancelled and both amalgamated into a single BILINGUAL Mass at 10:30 AM. Attached to this email is the booklet for the special liturgy and the reader will read from that booklet.

Thank you all for your hard work, and let's proclaim God's Word in a meaningful way!

Our Parish will celebrate St. Anne's Feast Day on 23 July at 11:15am Mass. Maria Gonzaga and Oliver Wong have been assigned to be the readers, and kindly refer to the attached Feast Day Liturgy booklet to prepare the special bible passages for that Mass.

Thank you to all.
