What a shame!

Do we need such reminders!

Dress Appropriately, People!

PARENTS

Dear Parents,

Please speak to your children and instruct them to be at their places during Mass.

It is unbecoming to have our children running, walking, talking, playing games on the handphone or portable game devices and eating while the Mass is in order.

Please don’t be offended when the Ministers of Hospitality instruct your children if you do not do your part as parents.

A month’s period of grace will be given before the HMs take due action.

                          By Order   Paulino
