Are you planning a get-together of family and friends for this Christmas? If you are, you can add Christmas carols to the gathering and do your part for charity.

This Christmas, groups of carollers intend to live

the tradition of Christmas by lending their voices for a good cause and sing for charity.

Sing for Charity 2009 is an idea mooted by a group of enthusiastic music-loving Catholics who want to spread the cheer of Christmas and make a positive impact to the community.

The committee has rounded up several carolling groups, many of which have been carolling for the past years.

If you would like to share the festive spirit and participate in charitable giving by engaging a carolling group to sing at their premise, please download the booking form here.

Sing for Charity 2009 will primarily benefit three Catholic charities, namely Roman Catholic Prison Ministry, Catholic AIDS Response Effort and the Family Life Society.

To book a carolling group and do your part for Charity this Christmas, download the booking form and send it via fax 6337 7101 or email to singforcharity@gmail.com.  For further information you can call Marilyn Koh at 97773926.
