Cardinal William Goh has appealed for our prayers as the College of Cardinals enter into the Conclave on 7 May to elect a new Pope. He highlighted that “it is urgent and important that you all pray for us so that we can discern what kind of Pope the Church needs in this present day”.
On Wed 07 May, we will gather as usual for our First Wed Mass and this Mass will be dedicated to for this purpose. We will have our Rosary to St Joseph at 7.30pm followed by Mass. Please join us in prayer as we each have a responsibility to pray for the successor of St Peter.

True or False Devotion
Mon 12 May
9.30am to 12.30pm
Montfort Centre
This month of May, come together for a short recollection as we celebrate the month of Mother Mary and Mother's Day.
In a world filled with counterfeit devotions, it's crucial to distinguish between what’s true and what’s not when honoring Mary. Through guided craftwork and reflection, this recollection invites us to recognize and avoid false devotions, while guiding us to choose the most perfect and sanctifying path—one that glorifies God and pleases Him most.
