Fatima Parents' Day Celebration 2014

On the Feast of The Sacred Heart of Jesus, which symbolizes the Love of Jesus for us, we also celebrated Fatima Parents' Day for all parents of the Parish. A Combination of both Mothers' Day and Father's day which we normally celebrate on the 2nd Sunday of May and the 3rd Sunday of June respectively, today the children of the parish are reminded to the honour and love that they should give to their parents. After Thanksgiving, the simple program started off with 2 poems recited by Isobel Lai and Adrian Yeo. All parents were then invited to the Altar to receive a special prayer and blessings from Fr. Robert. The highlight of the celebrations was video with an old favourite song of the 50's - "Papa, He loves Mama" . All parents and guests were treated to a breakfast of 'Nasi Lauk'. Let's pray for all parents that they will guide their children and bring them up in their Christian faith, to love the Catholic Traditions of the Church.

WISHING ALL PARENTS OF THE FATIMA FAMILY BOTH  NEAR AND FAR

Tai Chi Exercises for All

Exercise is good for you. Parishioners of Our Lady of Fatima can now participate in physical activities like playing a game of badminton, learn ball-room dancing or do Tai Chi Exercises or do all three every Monday night!

Thanks to Dr. David Pereira for teaching us Ball-room dancing (Tonight we were learning to Samba, keeping up with the Brazilians World Cup, to waltz as the elegant dancers of Johan Straus to the Beautiful Blue Danue, to jive or rhumba or do the irresistable cha-cha)

Following the ball room dancing exercise (you really sweat, I assure you!) you can slow down a bit, but you will still sweat, but be healthier by learning to imitate the gracious movements of Tai Chi led by Mrs. Shirley Bates. Ask Noel Clement who is a regular and faithful trainee. He uses the Tai Chi Excercise as a warm up to his next excercise - playing a game of badminton with Fr. Robert, Francis Lai, Philip Tiau, and Gerard Yeo and others.
