CONGRESS of LAY MINISTRIES and APOSTOLATES will be at the GYMNASIUM

LAY LITURGICAL CONGRESS of the JUBILEE of the LAITY

  

 

Advisory for JUBILEE CONGRESS FOR LAY LITURGICAL MINISTRIES

ADVISORY FOR THE  JUBILEE CONGRESS PARTICIPANTS

We received a very good response from our invitation for the three Jubilee of the Laity congresses. We expected the venue to be full and we need to set order for the occasion with the following guidelines:

1.       The congress will commence at exactly 8:00 o’clock AM. PLEASE COME EARLY. There will be ushers and usherettes to guide you to your seats. It will be on a first come, first serve basis. We will be reserving an area for the senior citizens (60 years old and above). However, if you are late, or if you arrive after eight you may have to occupy the back seats. It is advisable that you come early and  in groups.

2.       It is imperative that you wear your T-shirts for smooth admittance to the congress. When fully paid, T-shirts will be distributed and should reach you before the day of the congress.

3.       In order to avoid dehydration, please bring with you your drinking water. There may be bottles of water for sale but you can avoid a long line of waiting if you bring your own.

4.       As you enter you will be given your meal stubs. Please don’t lose them as you need them to redeem your food and/or your raffle prizes should you win. To claim your food, we encourage you to assign your own point person to collect your meal stubs and redeem it for you. Each point person is to redeem 10 – 20 food packs.

5.       Since this is a congress and we will have an open forum, please bring with you your pen and paper for note-taking and for writing your questions should you have any regarding the topic of the speaker.

6.       Let us practice a life of stewardship. We encourage you to bring your offering, in cash or in kind for the apostolate which you will offer to the Lord during the Eucharistic celebration.

7.       Should you incur any problem or should you have any complaints at all concerning the congress, we will be happy to assist you and answer any of your questions. Just locate the Complaints Station and look for Sis. Silvana M. de Vera.

Thank you and we look forward to see you in the Congresses.

God bless.

BASIC FORMATION SEMINAR FOR NEW LAY LITURGICAL MINISTERS

February 16, 2012

Forty-ninth Anniversary of the Archdiocese

Circular 2012-6

RE: Recollection for Lay Liturgical Ministers 2012

My dear brothers in the holy priesthood:

In keeping with a prevailing archdiocesan policy that all lay liturgical ministers must undergo a yearly spiritual recollection, please be informed that the said spiritual formation program will start on February 18 until May 26 this year at the Lay Formation Center in Bonuan Gueset, Dagupan City from 8:00 am until 4:00pm. The registration fee will be PhP250 per person. The schedule is attached herewith.

Please note likewise that the Ministers of Hospitality, Music Ministers, Ministers of Social Action and parish convent workers will have their own recollections too as indicated in the enclosed flyer.

Finally, the Basic Formation Seminar for new readers and new extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion will be on May 13 and 20, 2012.

May reiterate a standing policy, that after three years of continuous ministry as reader or extraordinary minister of Holy Communion, these lay liturgical ministers must be advised to take up another ministry either in social action or catechesis. After a year of service in social action or catechesis they may return to the lay liturgical ministry provided they undergo the basic formation seminar again. The rationale behind this ruling is to widen our pool of lay involvement beyond the altar and into the “world”, so that our laity can truly help to “restore all things in Christ” as their lay vocation mandates.

Please choose new readers aged thirteen to twenty five years old and new extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion between twenty five to forty years old.

The Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI has been calling for the promotion of new evangelization. We cannot be maintainers of the status quo. Let us plunge into deeper waters. Thank you for sharing the dream.

Sincerely yours,

+SOCRATES B. VILLEGAS

Archbishop of Lingayen Dagupan
