Starting 14 June
After 9.30am EC
Michael’s Patio

Pope Francis writes in his encyclical, “Living our vocation to be protectors of God’s handiwork is essential to a life of virtue; it is not an optional or a secondary aspect of our Christian experience.

Come join us for our Laudato Si’ vegetarian breakfast, happening every 2nd Sunday of the month, beginning 14 June 2026, after the 9.30 EC at Michael’s Patio.

Learn how to care for our common home through fellowship and fun Laudato Si’ activities.

Photography & Videography Notice
A Kind Reminder

Please do not take pictures or video in the Worship Hall for the following reasons:

1. PDPA Act does not allow us to take picture of other parishioners
2. To  protect the celebrants and parishioners themselves from terrorism
3. Worship hall is a sacred place, to show reverence

Only officially appointed photographers and videographers from CSM may do so.

Breakfast
@ Michael’s Patio
Sundays after 9.30am EC

The word, “Xenizo” means “To be received hospitably as an honoured guest,” and that is the name our hospitality ministry has taken. Come and partake of breakfast made with loving hands, at St. Michael’s Patio every Sunday after the 9.30am Eucharistic Celebration. Mingle, fellowship, make a new friend, chat, welcome someone new.

Soul Rest: A Day with the Lord

18 July 2026, Sat
9am-5pm
Montfort Centre

Join us for a Soul Rest: A Day with the Lord. This day of recollection (DoR) invites you to pause, breathe and recharge your spirit. Come and find renewal and stillness in His loving prsence. This DoR is for those who are same sex attracted or identifies as LGBTQ.

Lord of creation,
You gave us the fertile earth and, with it, our daily bread,
as a sign of Your love and providence.

Today we recognize with sorrow
that millions of brothers and sisters continue to suffer from hunger,
while so many goods are wasted at our tables.

Awaken in us a new awareness:
that we learn to thank for every food,
to consume simply,
to share with joy,
and to care for the fruits of the earth as a gift from You,
destined for all, not just a few.

Good Father,
make us capable of transforming the logic of selfish consumption
into a culture of solidarity.
May our communities promote concrete gestures:
awareness campaigns, food banks,
and a sober and responsible lifestyle.

You who sent us Your beloved Son Jesus,
broken bread for the life of the world,
give us a new heart, hungry for justice and thirsty for fraternity.
May no one be excluded from the common table,
and may Your Spirit teach us to see bread
not as an object of consumption,
but as a sign of communion and care.

Amen.
