Community News
We had a powerful evening at the last Awaken. It was Pentecost all over again. The Holy Spirit came upon a packed church in a powerful way. His presence was alive, active and dynamic in Steffanie Le; she delivered some of the most profound and prophetic teachings I have ever heard. We are so blessed to have this amazing ministry here in our Parish.
So many people received healing, prayers answered, chains broken, blessing of gifts, etc. Here are some of the testimonies we received so far:
“I have been afflicted with Keratoconus, a defect of my eyeballs which caused me almost blind. I had to wear special eyeglasses for reading.
Steffanie prayed over me at Awaken. The day after, I took off my glasses and I was able to read without them! Thank you Steffanie.” Jaycee
“I came into the Awaken gathering with a lot of doubt, but I’ve come out struck and convinced that Steffanie has indeed a power and perception I can’t explain. She came up me, laid hands and prayed and I feel cleaned internally in a major way. You have to experience it to believe it.” Jimmy
“Awaken was a very powerful and special experience and I was extremely privileged to receive it. I definitely, without a doubt, felt the power of the Holy Spirit through Steffanie. It is a community and an event for those looking for healing and openness to God.” Sisi
“I have been battling bipolar disorder and severe obsessive-compulsive disorder for the past 17 years. I had severe depression… it was so bad that I wouldn’t even get out of bed. I didn’t eat. I didn’t see the point. Life was unbearable. I attended a healing session at Awaken. Steffanie prayed over me. Over the next few weeks, my depressive symptoms abated, my OCD almost vanished… I’m healed of my afflictions.” Aaron
“I firmly believe that the Holy Spirit is in Steffanie and I’m happy to say it. The vibrant and the work of the Holy Spirit is in her. Absolutely!” Fr Lyall
As Jimmy pointed out above, “You have to experience to believe it.” Don’t miss the next Awaken. Book early to secure your seat. The next Awaken will be on Saturday 10th July.

New starting time for Rising Youth Ministry (RYM) as a TRIAL.
A few parents have suggested to start RYM later so they can attend the 5pm Spiritus Mass straight after RYM. We thought this is a wonderful idea! So, starting from the next RYM, 20th June, we will begin RYM at 2pm and finish at 4pm — as a trial. When RYM finishes at 4pm, please come into the school hall to collect your children and for those families who want to attend mass, please collect your children and take them over to the church. We are extremely excited about this new starting time and that the children and parents are joining us for mass. Mass is going to be a joyous gathering. We can’t wait!
God bless,
Fr Lam

NEW PROCEDURE FOR CONTACT-TRACING AT OUR LADY OF FATIMA
There is no longer any need to pre-book for Mass. Since the 9am Sunday Mass is always full, we will count the number of people attending this mass. Once we reach the church capacity of 190 people, we will have to ask latecomers to leave. Please come early to secure your seat at Mass.

We saw this rainbow over the church on the 1st Sunday of Lent after our Spiritus Mass on Sunday at 5pm. That day the first reading was from the book of Genesis where it has the story of God making a covenant with Noah through the sign of the rainbow. It was amazing. It’s God’s sign for our parish.
