Notices

For regular updates

Regarding Mass timings and parish activities, please make sure that:

• Your family is registered in the parish;
• You have a Parish Card and
• The Zonal Leader has your mobile number for Whatsapp Group information.

It is very important that every family is registered in the parish.

• The Parish office needs to check the Family Card whenever you approach the office for any work: like Booking of Masses, registering for Sacraments, or a Letter of Reference for education, or Transfer to another parish. Hence, please bring your Family Card along when you visit the parish office. If you do not have a Family Card, please get it done from the parish office as soon as possible.
  
• You must keep your Parish Family Card active by contributing to the Community Welfare Fund regularly, no matter even if it is a small amount. The Community Welfare Fund is used for helping the poor, giving medical and educational assistance, for Community programmes and for the development of the parish. It is important that you share in these concerns with your contribution.

SCC WhatsApp Groups

Please note that we have been communicating several policies regarding sacramental life through your Community SCC WhatsApp groups. Many of these policies are too detailed to be explained through the parish notices. Therefore, we request that at least one member from each family be part of the SCC WhatsApp group.

We have also asked all community coordinators to ensure that good morning messages, forwards and other non-official messages are not sent on these groups. The groups are meant primarily for official communication from the parish. This week, we have shared an important clarification regarding sick calls. Kindly make sure that you have read it.
