Moving...maybe closer to you!

Call me for more info...and thanks in advance.

Homework?

Yes, there is homework for the servers to tuen for Tuesday August 18th's training session. Server are to write a 200 word essay. The essay should be typed and either emailed to me or printed and brought to Tuesday's training session.

The essay should explain how you would instruct someone in ways to participate in the MEF. Write the essay for a fellow Catholic who may have been to one MEF and walked away unsure of how to act or participate in the Mass.

Essays that are exceptional (well written, few to no grammatical errors, and convincing) will be posted on the blog. Enjoy.

Next Training Session: Monday August 10th

I look forward to Monday's training session.

Please remember to review the Canon using a 1962 missal (or one close to it). If you don't have a missal, you can view a rough version of the Canon online. Please remember to also bring your Missa Cantata work. Lastly, I remind the servers to bring cards and other prayers for Lucas' spiritual care package.

• Upcoming dates: August 17th training session has been moved to August 18th at 4:15pm.
• I need people to comment or email me with requests for Missa Cantata positions prior to this upcoming session.
• If anyone is willing to wash cassocks and surplice's, please let me know. Ours need it.
• I hope everyone who went to Discernment Day had a great time. We look forward to reports on Monday.

"August Happenings"

1. With so many of our servers attending Discernment Day, we are in need of other MEF servers to volunteer in assisting with set up for the Wednesday (Aug 5th) Benediction/Adoration. We have servers who can make it for the Mass, but we are in need for Benediction/Adoration. I will be working and so I cannot make it at that time.
2. My little family will be moving to a new house in a few weeks (Aug. 22nd). In order to make the move successful, I've had to move a training session from Monday August 17th Training session to Tuesday August 18th for the same time (4:15 to 6:00 pm).
3. Seminarian Lucas Rossi will not be attending any more training sessions due to schedule conflicts and he will be leaving his post at St. Ann's next week. I am asking all of the servers and their families to offer up prayers for Lucas and provide a card so we can gather them up for a spiritual care package for his last year in seminary.
4. We will begin work on the next Missa Cantata at the next training session. Servers are asked to bring their previous Missa Cantata work with them so we can jump start right back in it.
5. Early September will be the move in time for the new Church. Please be flexible with the schedule as we approach. We will be looking to help Mrs. Kuhn and Fr. Reid move items from the Sanctuary back into the new Church as well so stay tuned for more information.
