MARANATHA!
Gabriel the archangel brought hard joy to the Virgin Mary: “Rejoice, most favored, the Lord is with you. If you agree, you will have a baby who is your savior and your God.” What an awe-filled choice. And Mary said yes. Such cooperation between the Lord and the woman begins the revelation of the great hidden mystery: the presence of Christ Jesus, Savior and Lord, among us. Celebrating Mary’s choice, give glory to God through the only begotten Son, Jesus. Maranatha!

PIETA SINGAPORE
PIETA is a support group for bereaved parents. At Christmas we are reminded of Jesus' humanity, his frailty and dependence on those around him. We too reflect on these elements of ourselves as we turn to God for peace and hope amidst the Christmas celebrations. We come together as bereaved parents - in prayer, in WORD and in faith. The session, run by bereaved parents, meets monthly to pray, reflect and break open the WORD OF GOD. We invite any parent who has lost a child (regardless of age and no matter how recent or long ago) to unite
with us in faith. Our monthly session is on every 4th Tuesday of the month, 7:30pm to 9:00pm at Agape Village, Toa Payoh Lorong 8, and the next one would be held on Tue 26 December 2017.
Our contact details are email: [email protected] and we can also be found on facebook: https://facebook.com/PietaSingapore

RESPONSIBLE PARKING
If the church car-park is full, parishioners are reminded to park their vehicles at other car-parks around the vicinity of the church, eg. I12Katong. To avoid the parking blues, public transport is highly recommended.
Inconsiderate parking along Sea Avenue and Chapel Road causes much
frustration and inconvenience to residents.
Please spare a thought for our neighbours as we come to celebrate our Feast Day and New Year.
Father Eugene Vaz, Father Damian De Wind &
Father Donatien Davaine
wish all parishioners a very
Joyous & Blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year !
CANTEEN (REMINDER) Please note that the Canteen has ceased its operations from 5 November to the end of
December 2017 to facilitate the Renovation of the Function Hall and the Christmas Season. The
canteen will resume operations next year, details of which will be announced in due course.
