Theme: Discipleship The first reading reveals the solemn calling of Isaiah by God to be a prophet. However, due to the death of king Uzziah, Isaiah was filled with sorrow. He was then unable to recognise that it was the Lord sitting upon the throne and not that it was empty. Similar to Isaiah, many of us with all our [...]
In the first reading we see that God did not call us by accident - the call was a deliberate action from God who knows us personally. We are tasked to proclaim the good news to all nations. Just like how Jeremiah the prophet had to preach to corrupt kings and religious leaders of ancient Judah who opposed him fiercely, [...]
In the Japanese culture, there is an artform known as Kintsugi. It is the process of restoring and mending broken pottery with lacquer mixed with gold, silver, or platinum dust. In Kintsugi, there is no attempt to hide the damage, but to celebrate, accept, and even highlight the parts that which have been broken. The broken areas, and the repair [...]
As we approach the 4th Sunday of Ordinary Time, we thought we could look back at what happened in December for the source of our hope in every liturgical season: The Nativity of Jesus came alive for us in late December 2021 - all of us from the parish and those of our neighbourhood who had come across the [...]
To ring in the new year together, and to give thanks to our Lord together as a parish community, 100 seats were opened for the parishioners to sign-up for a night of Praise and Worship, and all were very quickly filled up.

On Christmas Day 2, 26 December, Parishioner volunteers brought the joy and love of Jesus to many families in our neighbourhood as parishioners reached out to many of our neighbours in Blk 33 Boon Keng Road and gifted them with warmth, greetings, [...]
"This year’s Christmas is even weirder than last year’s," Father Terence began this year's homily at the Christmas midnight Eucharistic Celebration which began at 11pm, "you can see the lyrics flashed on the wall but it says Please Do Not Sing." He added, "And last year in 2020, we were all celebrating the Christmas Eucharistic Celebration from each of our [...]
The lyrics of a popular Christmas Carol expound upon a series of rhetorical questions, questioning Mary about whether she knew that Jesus would save us, whether she knew that her child once walked with angels… and the short answer to this sequence of “did you know” questions, is Yes! Mary did know. This is succinctly stated in Scripture when the [...]
