A sign of a vibrant community is evidenced by how there has been a steadily growing number of activities. The parish is buzzing with joy and love. Our parish conducted outreach at the vicinity of Potong Pasir in May over a few weekends. Dedicated teams reached out to the community and invited others to join our Vibrant Community! The teams [...]
Here we are already in June for 2022 -- half a year has passed with Pentecost rolling us by. Covid-19 restrictions seem like a distant memory. The past 2 years, bonding with fellow parishioners was limited to zoom calls or small groups of 5 in person. How we all missed the joy of gathering together in person for an activity [...]
40 days of Lent, what does it mean to a Catechumen new to Catholicism? This is an intense 40-day period of self searching and repentance in which the Catholic Church supports its catechumen (the unbaptized) and its baptized candidates with special prayers of healing and strengthening and with rites affirming God’s choice and love for each of them. It also [...]
I have not been able to attend mass in person for some time. Due to personal reasons and at some times I'm not able to book a slot. Even though I pray to Jesus daily and catch up on daily readings on catholic.sg. I still find that there is something missing. I have been asking myself what's missing. I attend [...]
The 1st reading from 2 Chronicles tells us that the leaders and the people were not listening to the Lord and were no longer interested in seeking the ways of God.

In Exodus 34:29 and Acts 6:15, we read about how Moses and Stephen were transfigured and their face shone in the glory of God. In today’s gospel, Peter, James & John experienced the glory of God, manifested in Jesus and testified by Moses, representing the Law and Elijah, representing the Prophets. By God’s will, the disciples were experiencing a spiritual [...]
This weekend marks the start of Lent, a period of penitential preparation for Easter. What is Lent to you? In today’s Gospel we hear how “the Spirit drove Jesus out into the desert, and he remained in the desert for forty days, tempted by Satan...” (Mark 1:12-13) During this season, just like Jesus we too are called into the wilderness [...]
As Pope Francis has said, “Lent comes providentially to reawaken us, to shake us from our lethargy”. Lent is a time when we scrutinize areas of our lives that are facing spiritual death.
