Holy Thursday and Good Friday 2017

Once again, the parish celebrated the Easter Triduum ie. Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday with renewed passion, remembering our Lord's suffering and death on the cross. But three days later, His resurrection gives us the hope of  new life! Yes Easter is the greatest event in the church calendar - without the Resurrection, there will be no hope of everlasting life!
On Holy Saturday, 8 adults from the RCIA classes were baptised together with 5 children and 14 were confirmed. at the Easter Vigil mass. It was indeed a time of rejoicing, having completed their faith journey. Congratulations to Francis Chew, Karen Wong, Lena Teo, Teresa Goh (Mrs. Philip Tiau) and also to the confirmants, Wendy and Jessica!
