Training and Updates

We have torches!!! Fr. Reid got a set of 6 nice torches. They will require an orientation and training to use as they are expensive, butane torches. (Don't burn down the new church, please.) Please take the opportunity to thank Fr. Arnsparger and the St. Michael servers for helping us utilize the St. Michael torches up to this point.

We have the surplices for the new Server Ranks!!! At various levels within our new hierarchical ranking system, servers will receive special surplices for Mass in recognition of their dedication, discipline, and achievement. Ceremonies for the various ranks will occur after the tests and trials.

September 20th:
Training is from 3:45 to 5:15 pm with Fr. Reid educating on the Canon. Translation: A very busy and holy man is taking time out of his schedule to come teach, and therefore everyone better be prepared to listen, answer questions, and engage in the training. Hint: Know Your Mass through the Canon. Afterwards, if time permits in Fr. Reid's schedule, he will lead the servers in Vespers. Please bring your Liturgy of the Hours for this great opportunity. (Volume IV for those with the full set.) If you do not have the Liturgy of the Hours, we will share. Then, after that, all servers who qualify for Junior Acolyte will take the test for it.
