A Great Way to Kick-Off 2023

Match Day: Altar Servers vs EMHC The idea of having a soccer match against the EMHC had been brewing on the minds of the altar servers for several months as they had been playing together frequently and were a confident team. The soccer field was eventually booked at St Wilfred’s for 1st January and the teams were formed at short [...]

Start Your Day with LOH, not LOL

My alarm goes off at 7.58am. I could sleep a bit longer. I shut my eyes. The next moment it is 8.05am. Uh-oh! Quick log in, the Liturgy of the Hours started already!

Angels We Have Heard On High

Looking up to the sky, Fr Sam said that he had asked for a sign from heaven that there are angels. No answer. His phone rang. Caller id: St Michael. When Fr Sam related this incident during his homily, I found it particularly intriguing (and amused) as I had just watched a YouTube video that morning about the existence of [...]

Reflections on Ezekiel

Reflections on Ezekiel: Eat. Love. Hope. The dramatic Book of Ezekiel captures the creative side of God that I have come to love in the parables that Jesus told. Written by the prophet Ezekiel himself, we see God’s message delivered to His people through pantomime and great imagery. Though I was not able to attend all the recent talks on [...]
