From our Hands to the Cross
Each handmade cross tells a story — of faith, surrender, and trust in God.
As we prepare for Good Friday, you are invited to make crosses that symbolise your prayers and offerings, united with Christ’s sacrifice for all.
Together we offer our struggles, gratitude, and intentions with these crosses on Good Friday.
Please place your handmade crosses in the basket at the back of the worship hall.

This is a call to all of us to respond to Charities Week, our Archdiocesan annual fundraiser where your donation goes directly to support our brothers and sisters who are the poor, elderly, persons with disabilities, migrants and itinerant, youth-at-risk, and many more. Inspired by Dilexi te where our Pope Leo XIV reminds us that God’s love calls us to respond without delay, we too, need to stand up and be counted through timely acts of compassion and generosity. Your almsgiving makes a difference – it enables essential programmes and services to reach those who need help most.

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.
