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.
