Please be reminded of our policy that the lay faithful can exercise these ministries only after they have gone through formation programs conducted by the Diocesan Ministry for Liturgical Affairs.  It is necessary that a committee should screen the candidates on their skills and moral standing in the community.

Recommendation letters signed by the parish priest should be submitted by fax at least two weeks before the scheduled formation.  The original should be submitted on the day itself.  This will be for the preparation of the handouts. 

Registration is at Php 100.00.  Meals not included.

Basic Formation for Parish Masters of Ceremonies

To: Parish Priests, Parochial Vicars and Parish Coordinator of the Ministry of Altar Servers
Re: Basic Formation for Parish Masters of Ceremonies

Dear brothers in Christ,

Liturgical celebrations must be distinguished by grace, simplicity and order. In diocesan and parish liturgical celebrations, the master of ceremonies is tasked to coordinate the planning, preparations and actual celebrations of the liturgy. The master of ceremonies should be well-versed in the history, theology and pastoral aspects of the liturgy (cf. Ceremonial of Bishops, 24). This requisite knowledge facilitates planning and preparation of the faithful.

Considering the important role of the Master of Ceremonies plays in our liturgical life, the Ministry of Altar Servers of the Diocesan Ministry for Liturgical Affairs will be offering a Basic Workshop for Parish MCs on 28 February, 6 March and 13 March from 6:00 until 9:00 in the evening at the Immaculate Conception Cathedral Multi-purpose Building.

Participants must:

• be appointed and highly recommended by the parish priest (with accompanying letter of appointment)
• have basic knowledge of the liturgy
• be a senior altar server (not necessarily by age nor years in service)
• have the capability to direct liturgical celebration

Participants are to submit their recommendation letters signed by the parish priest a week before the seminar to facilitate the preparations of materials. You may fax it through 7237847. Participants without recommendation letters will not be entertained. The registration fee is Php 1000 for the dinner, venue, speakers and materials.

For further inquiries, please get in touch with Randy at 723 5113 to 15 local 514

May the Lord continue to bless you in your apostolic endeavors for the promotion of liturgical renewal in our diocese.

Fraternally yours in Christ,

Rev. Fr. Dennis Soriano
Minister for Liturgical Affairs
