The celebration this year began with a pre-Mass which broke the silence of the new year morning. As a symbol of inviting Mary our mother to pray with us, the statue of Our Lady was brought in procession as the hymn Mother of God was sung.
Since Christmas was just a week ago, it brought much inspiration to all as the hymn “Mary did you know” was played with aid of beautiful pictures on slides. Thereafter, rosary was prayed.
The Holy Mass was a beautiful celebration con-celebrated by Fathers Simon Yong and
O C Lim . At the end of the Mass, their new year greetings and jokes brought great cheer to all present.
Prayer cards to Mary, the queen of Apostles was blessed and distributed to all the faithful after Mass. Being year of St Paul , this is a fitting prayer for those who are spreading the good news.
Our dear Padres were also on hand after Mass to meet their flock of worshippers and exchanging New Year greetings with them.
