• There will be no 7.00am Mass during the weekdays & on Sat 19 April;
  
• Also there will be no 7.30a.m. Mass & no Novena Devotion.from me as I will be on a sabbatical from 1st of January till 30th June, 2025. In my absence, Fr. Patrick Massang has been appointed as Administrator of the parish.
  
• Thank you to all Ministries and parishioners who have worked hard to build up the ministries and the parish life. I thank God for the blessings, graces and guidance.
  
• I am sure the PPC and Fr.Massang will guide the parish even further. We are not a perfect parish neither do we strive for that. We are human and along the way we make mistakes, we correct, say sorry, reconcile and move forward. May 2025 be a year of blessings for all. We will strive to remember that we are multi-cultural parish where all are welcome but we are one parish. Blessings upon all. Have a Blessed Advent!
