Lent to Easter Reflection Booklet
Through Scripture, reflections, and questions for personal and group use, the Office for the New Evangelisation’s combined Lent to Easter Reflection Booklet supports individuals, families, ministries, and communities as we journey inward to receive God’s love more deeply, and outward to share that love with others. Our Lenten practices do not end with Lent, but continue into Easter, where we renew our baptismal call to live as God’s holy people.

For couples who require childminding, there is a dedicated team to take care of your children.

No Cross, What A Cross!
Date: 6 – 8 March 2026
Time: Friday, 7pm – Sunday, 1pm
Venue: Montfort Centre, 624 Upper Bukit Timah Rd, S678212
What does the Cross mean in your life – a burden to avoid or the very source of God’s wisdom and power?
This Lenten retreat invites you to rediscover the Cross through the words of St. Paul and the spiritual insight of St. Louis Marie de Montfort, who teaches that God has enclosed in the Cross an abundance of grace, life, and even joy, known only to those who befriend Him. What the world calls foolishness, God transforms into salvation, reminding us that perhaps the greatest cross of all is not having one.

Pope Leo XIV: Christians living in the midst of war are seeds of peace
- On the eve of his departure for Türkiye and Lebanon, the Pope invites us to pray for Christian communities who live in war-torn or conflict zones.
- Leo XIV invites them to not feel abandoned and to be “seeds of peace, reconciliation and hope.”
- He then asks all Christians in the world “to not fall into indifference” and to be “builders of unity.”

Rebuild Hope, Restore Lives:
Support Gaza Rebuilding Efforts

Small Gifts, Miraculous Impact.
You can donate via credit card or PayNow through CHARIS website. Alternatively, you can send a crossed cheque payable to “Humanitarian Aid Fund”, indicate “Gaza Rebuilding Efforts” at the back of the cheque, send the cheque to: CHARIS, 55 Waterloo Street, #07-02 Catholic Centre, Singapore 187954.

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.
