My mother-in-law is truly remarkable. She may be petite, but her character is strong and admirable. She is loud, straightforward, and unapologetically blunt, which sets her apart. Not only is she an amazing cook who can prepare big, sumptuous meals to feed a crowd, but she also has a big heart. Her strength and resilience were evident when my father-in-law [...]
When I first encountered the Our Father's Prayer in a convent school, its true meaning eluded me. We recited it as part of our National Pledge, but its depth remained hidden.

The best part is that [...]
Our family recently attended a Family Camp 2023 in Batam, organised by our parish Church of Saint Michael. It was a new experience for us, as my husband is a free thinker, my son is in the beginning stages of his faith with Catechism class level 1, and I am still learning about my faith through RCIA. It was also [...]
Drinking more deeply from the living waters of our faith Young one, words of wisdom, you must listen! To refuse, you cannot.
