Movie Night
Sat, 24 Aug 2024
7pm to 10pm
St Michael room
Please RSVP by 18 August
Don’t let your emotions be the ones that are in control! God’s faithfulness means that he is always with us. And we know that life with Jesus is better than life without him. That doesn’t mean we never feel sad, frustrated or worried. It means we know we are accompanied by God during those times.
We as humans know all our emotions are valid but with God there is no judgement for them. We suddenly remember that it’s OK not to be OK and that, even when you might feel like your sense of self has gone, God is still there with you.
So join us for a night of fun to watch the animated movie Inside Out to understand how our emotions can influence our thoughts and how when it seems like our emotions are taking control, Jesus is right there to take back over.

Pastoral Conversion
of the Parish
Wed 7 & Thurs 22 Aug
8pm
St Michael Room
Pastoral conversion is one of the central themes in the “new phase of evangelisation” that the Church is called to foster today, whereby Christian communities be ever more centres conducive to an encounter with Christ.
We must make a determined missionary decision “capable of transforming everything, so that the Church’s customs, ways of doing things, times and schedules, language and structures can be suitably channelled for the evangelisation of today’s world rather than for her self-preservation”.
This means a pastoral activity that, through an effective and vibrant collaboration between priests, deacons, religious and laity, as well as among different Parish communities of an area or region, occupies itself with identifying together the questions, difficulties and challenges germane to evangelisation, seeking to integrate ways, methods, proposals and means suitable to confront them. Beyond a responsible coordination of activities and structures capable of relating and collaborating among them, the pastoral care of all requires the contribution of all the baptised.

Understanding non-heterosexuality |
|
Words, language, and ideologies matter. In conservative-religious communities, people with unwanted non-heterosexuality far outnumber LGBTQ+ people who are out and proud. The body of Christ must know the differences, priorities, and how to respond, with wisdom and understanding – to reduce prejudices, misconceptions, and shallow acceptance. This talk gives insight to what factors in family and society – contributes to the development of non-heterosexuality in children without choice, and some knowledge to help us navigate through the storms of misunderstanding. The talk also shows how everyone in the body of Christ has an important role to play. Importantly, this talk is not pro- or anti-LGBTQ. The information it contains reduces misunderstanding and prejudices, but highlights what in social and family life the body of Christ must pay attention to. Please send your questions to csm.secretariat@catholic.org.sg Register: tinyurl.com/CSMTalkonNonHeterosexuality |
Infant Baptism
Let us as a community welcome the new members to our family.
Peter explained what happens at baptism when he said, “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit” (Acts 2:38). But he did not restrict this teaching to adults. He added, “For the promise is to you and to your children and to all that are far off, every one whom the Lord our God calls to him” (2:39, emphasis added).
We also read: “Rise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on his name” (Acts 22:16). These commands are universal, not restricted to adults. Further, these commands make clear the necessary connection between baptism and salvation, a connection explicitly stated in 1 Peter 3:21: “Baptism . . . now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a clear conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.”

Novena Church
As Novena Church gears up for the Annual Novena Procession (ANP), we invite the youths for the Annual Novena Youth Rally 2024 which is in partnership with Church Of St Mary Of The Angels.
Themed “The Missing Piece,” this year’s rally promises a blend of spiritual reflection and joyful fellowship. Our dynamic Redemptorist will lead the rally on how we often fill our lives with temporary distractions to mask the true void, which is ultimately filled by Jesus, the Love of God which links to the theme of the rally.
Alongside this, youths can enjoy a carnival atmosphere, food trucks, flea markets, and an evening of Praise & Worship.
The event will culminate with the Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament.
Details of the event are as follows:

- Venue: Novena Church
1st half of 2025
ELISHA is a unique 6-month leadership journey that is developed by CLC to provide a strong spiritual and practical foundation for new and emerging leaders in the parishes and Archdiocesan Organisations. Typically, these are individuals in their 20s to their 40s who are either already in leadership or earmarked for leadership, and have the potential to take on higher leadership roles in the future to help build the kingdom of God.
Comprising 5 training workshops and 1 weekend stay-in retreat over the first-half of 2025, ELISHA seeks to equip leaders with the foundation that they will need in their leadership journey of service as servant leaders. These include cultivating a discipleship disposition, learning how to dialogue and relate with others in community, building capacity to discern God’s will when making decisions, and developing others in the way of delegating, facilitating participation and learning other practical organisational leadership skills.

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
Our Archdiocese has been working to build a more vibrant, evangelising and missionary Church. In sharing the Good News, we are bringing the hope and love of Christ to vast numbers of people.
Within our Church today, however, there are currently no premises large enough for our organisations and communities to hold their activities on a large scale. After much study, we concluded that the Church’s largest freehold site at 49 Upper Thomson Road could optimally be used to house major Archdiocesan organisations, a convention centre with overnight retreat facilities, a home for senior clergy – and more – for the long-term needs of the Church.
Beyond physical infrastructure, such a Catholic Hub can bring about a greater depth of communion. The facilities and organisations located there will enable collaboration for a more effective witnessing of the Gospel to the people of Singapore and reap economies of scale.
