For Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion, Lectors, Greeters and Altar Servers at Annunciation Parish, the following dress code is offered:
1.    Men should wear jackets with ties or open-necked sport shirts (with air-conditioning, this should not be burdensome, even in summer).
2.    Women should wear dresses of suitable length and modesty, dress slacks with blouse or jacket, or a pants suit.
3.    No jeans or sneakers! That applies to all men, women and youth.
4.    The principle to follow – if it draws attention to yourself, it shouldn’t be worn.
We trust these directives will be acceptable in the spirit in which they are given. Remember, by your ministry, you assume a very important and visible role in the sacred liturgy. You should appear in clothing that bespeaks the special significance that is attached to your role.

   Our 60^th Anniversary Committee members, chaired by Michael De Benedetto, are thrilled to outline plans to commemorate this historic event.
   We have several events happening throughout the year culminating in an adult banquet at the Barnyard and Carriage House on Sunday, October 22, 2023. Everyone who helped Annunciation grow and serve our faith community over the past six decades are invited to celebrate with us. We anticipate that more than two hundred clergy, parishioners, family and friends from in and around Passaic County and the Diocese of Paterson will attend.
