❗ *Added Security Measures*
In light of the recent incident in our Parish, our Archdiocesan Emergency Response Operations (AERO) has reminded all parishes to strengthen our security and safety measures, especially as we approach Advent, Christmas and the New Year.
Here are some of the measures that we will be undertaking:
(1) Strengthened PEPT Team
We will be deploying more PEPT members to each Mass. If any parishioners are keen to join the PEPT, please approach any of the PEPT members for information.
(2) Promote a “See Something, Say Something” Culture
Parishioners are strongly encouraged to report any suspicious activities or unattended items to any of the PEPT members or the wardens. In the same light, parishioners are reminded not to bring big bags/luggage into the Cry Room, Church or Foyer. These items should be placed at St Joachim's Room. Posters will be placed in strategic areas around the Church to remind parishioners of this.
(3) Medical Professionals
We are strengthening our pool of Medical Professionals. If there are any doctors / nurses in our midst, please do approach our wardens so that we can reach out to you should a need arise.
(4) Keeping Calm in a Crisis
Should any incident arise during Masses, please remain calm and follow the instructions given. This will help the authorities carry out their duties without impediment. We were complimented by the authorities that they were impressed that the congregation co-operated and remained calm during the incident on 9 Nov.
(5) No Photography / Videography During Masses
We remind all parishioners that there is to be no photography / videography taken during Masses. This is to preserve the sanctity of the Mass. Only official Church photographers are authorized to do so. If you observe anyone doing so, please do alert the wardens.
