Wanted y'all to know about two useful documents:The General Instruction of the Roman Missal and Consecrated for Worship. The former outlines all the details related to the ritual of Mass and the latter provides an explicit description of the current requirements for Church building.

Ok guys,

it seems like not everyone is chipping in the unit blog! and there hasn't been any posting of comments! I'm gonna start by making everyone at least log-in to RSVP to the unit dinner that will be planned on the Saturday of 17th of November (15th of Nov is Adam's B-day, so this will make up for it!)

NOTE : If you don't reply there won't be any fabulous food reserved for you.
