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.
“Welcome Home” is a diocesan initiative to invite all Catholics to experience the grace of the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Confession is a wonderful opportunity to put aside our sinful ways and to draw closer to our Lord. Confessions will be held every Monday during Lent from 7:00-8:30 p.m. beginning on Monday, February 27th in every Catholic Church in the Diocese of Paterson. Don’t be afraid! Information will be provided. Ask the priest to help you. Experience the gracious mercy of God! www.WelcomeHomeToHealing.org.
