Dear Lectors,

Thanks you!

Dear Lectors,

I attach the schedule for August, in which I have accommodated all absences communicated to me.

God bless,

Dear Lectors,

For July, I call your attention to the Parish Feast Day which honors our patron St. Anne, mother of the Virgin. There is a special booklet that will be used for the English services, and the readings will be taken from that booklet and not the red Missal.

I have attached the booklet for those of you who need to prepare and practice for the Parish Feast Day readings. The booklet was prepared for a bilingual service, but Father John confirmed that the English community and the Chinese community will have their separate services, so you can ignore the Chinese portion of the booklet.

Summer holidays may have already come upon some of you; if not, they are soon to come. So, I wish you good rest, exciting travel and rejuvenating activities for the summer months. And thank you for your contribution to the Lector Ministry.

Vivian

Dear Readers, I attach the Lector Schedule for June.

If you cannot make your assigned time, please find a replacement in good time through the group e-mail.

Wishing you all a nice summer ahead.

Kind regards,

Markus 

Dear Lectors,

1. Please find attached the REVISED schedule for May. If for any reason you cannot make your assignment, please seek a replacement through this group email as soon as you can.

Non-St Anne's people who come to visit have remarked that the level of lectoring at St. Anne's is high. We recognize we have an important role to proclaim God's Word to His people. So please take time to first read your passage at home for understanding, then practice preferably twice out loud, BEFORE you come to church. Read slower than you normally do, and project your voice. Arrive early and announce yourself to Fr John.

Thank you for your continued service to St. Anne's and happy reading!

2. On a different subject, we are trying to identify one or two more people to help co-ordinate this ministry. At the moment, we have 2 people co-ordinating the assignments, keep the directory current, run lector training, and attend Parish Council meetings. If an additional person can be identified, the work will be divided and each person will be responsible for every third month. Please volunteer! It won't take up too much of your time to do this.

Vivian

We are looking for a third coordinator for the Lector Ministry. At present there are two coordinators working together to keep the Lectors' Directory, schedule readers for the different Masses, provide lector training and go to Parish Council meetings. Each works alternate months. A new volunteer will reduce the responsibility to every third month. If interested, please contact Vivian Lee 6100 0880 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Dear Lectors, I attach the lector schedule for April.

Please make sure to find an alternative reader in good time should you not be able to read as scheduled.

God bless,

Markus 

Dear Lectors,

I attach the Lector Schedule for February, in which I have accommodated all the absences over Chinese New Year that have been communicated to me.

NOTE: As in years past, no Lector is scheduled for the Ash Wednesday service both on the Wednesday and on the previous Tuesday evening. We ask any lector attending any of those services to please volunteer yourself as a reader and identify yourself to the priest.

A reminder as usual to:

• Turn up early to practice by reading out loud
• Identify yourself to the priest
• Use the googlegroup email to find a replacement in good time, if you cannot read at your appointed time

Wishing you all a good Lent and safe travels for those who are going away during the holidays.

God bless,

Markus

Dear Lectors,

Having read in December, some of you may be reading again in January. You may wonder about the frequency. Due to the extra Christmas and New Year liturgies in December, the requirement for lectors is rather big, and all unassigned lectors are put to service. As a result when January comes around, the rotation of lectors starts again.

By the birth of Christ, God is blessing us all!

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Vivian
