During Mass, in the sanctuary for prayer, worship, rehearsals..... The Sanctuary is for prayer. Please maintain a reverent attitude, posture, and tone at all times. Make sure all cell phones and pagers are turned on silent or vibrate mode before Mass begins. No food, drink, gum, etc. should be consumed in the sanctuary, except by infants.

Note:  Recently, there have been numerous abuses or misuse of equipment in the church buildings. These instances include jamming coin slots with paper, slugs, gum, and other material; various broken bathroom equipment, pews and bookracks. The facilities in the church are available for the convenience of all parishioners. The abuses cause discomfort and inconvenience to everyone. This abuse is a form of vandalism that might start as a prank or joke, but results in money wasted for repairs or replacements, let alone personal displeasure. Everyone is asked to be responsible for church property; respect the facilities they use; and most importantly, report abuses or malfunctioning equipment. Parents - monitor your children; everyone - demonstrate maturity and common sense.
