| Month
of NOVEMBER: Souls in Purgatory
|
|
|
The
month of November is dedicated to the Souls in Purgatory,
whose feast is celebrated on November 2 at "All
Souls Day". The Last Sunday of November then
marks the beginning of the Advent season, and a time
of penance.
The Holy Father's
Intentions for the Month of November 2008
General: That the testimony of love
offered by the Saints, may fortify Christians in their
service to God and neighbour, imitating Christ who
came not to be served but to serve.
Missionary: That Christian communities
in Asia, contemplating the face of Christ, may find
the most suitable way to announce Him in full fidelity
to the Gospel to the peoples of that vast continent
so rich in culture and ancient forms of spirituality.

The Archdiocesan Youth Day "Act1v8"
(Activate!)
18 October 2008 - This was a long and
big day for all parishes. All our Con 3 teens
were involved in a whole day of activities &
reflections based on the theme "Acts
1:8", to be empowered by the Holy
Spirit, in the light of WYD
2008's theme!
Organised by the Catholic Archdiocesan Youth Centre
in conjunction with all Parishes in Singapore,
we first had sessions including praise & worship
at OLPS. This was the parish segment.
It then followed by a rocking rally at the Toa
Payoh Sports Stadium where Franciscan Brother
Derrick was the emcee, lighting up the whole night
with his cool emceeing.
No one knew that our religious brothers could
be so entertaining!
Keep watch for our next issue on photos of AYD and the recent Confirmation 3 Camp!

Continue to pray for the right to life!
Abortion is murder.
Pray for the Church in Argentina: that abortion
will NOT be legalized. No matter what you think,
every child IS created in the image and likeness
of God and is precious in His eyes. Abortion IS
MURDER.
Watch
the video, how heartening to see
the young people so in love for Christ and His
beloved spouse, the Church, defending it despites
the verbal (and physical!) abuses.
"Blessed are you when people
revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds
of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice
and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven,
for in the same way they persecuted the prophets
who were before you."
Pray for the young Argentine faithful.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners.
Amen.
Watch
It Now! >>> |

November 2008: World AIDS Day Mass
THE WORLD AIDS Day Mass will be celebrated on Nov 29,
6.00pm at Cathedral of the Good Shepherd. The service
includes a music interlude and a poetry recital.
The theme of the Mass is “Returning to Hope”
which exhorts and encourages all to focus on the silver
lining in every setback, and on the good that God is able
to draw out of seemingly hopeless situations. It is also
a reminder to all that we are to be bearers of that hope
to the hopeless.
There will also be an exhibition at the foyer-porch of
the cathedral to highlight the plight of PWAs (People
living With AIDS) and the work of CARE's Shelter, and
an enquiry counter for those who wish to volunteer. |

"Dare
to be Daniel"
26 - 29 November 2008
The CAYC Youth Ministry Office invites youths (15 &
above) to a fun & experiential camp with other youths
of the Archdiocese. Cost: $35
This camp is based on the lives of Daniel, Susanna,
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego as told in the Book of
Daniel. Daniel is an example for us. His relationship
with God gave him conviction and he was a faithful,
courageous and prayerful person.
Dare to be Daniel is a time for Catholic youths from
across the Archdiocese to come together for an experience
in prayer and discipleship. It will also equip the young
leaders with basic tools for this walk in faith- prayer,
word & journaling.
