 Advent 2007 Charity Projects at Parishes
CHURCH OF THE HOLY FAMILY
Families remain our
hope for a better tomorrow. Church of the Holy Family will be supporting
the work of Marine Parade Family Service Centre (MPFSC) with the
theme of “Hope for Families” this Advent.
In the weekend of 1 & 2 December, MPFSC will be manning a booth
for parishioners before and after all each Mass. This booth serves
to provide information, volunteer opportunities and on-the-spot registration
for parishioners keen on volunteering. The programmes target students,
youths, elderly and families.
In addition, donation envelopes to support MPFSC will be given to
parishioners after communion. These can be collected in the following
week or mailed back to the parish.
