What a joy it is for me to see the unfolding and culmination of
the recent Jogathon and Easter Gala Dinner - two major fund-raising events
organized this year towards the refurbishment of the St Joseph Community
Centre. First of all in a special way, I would like to say a big Thank You to
my beloved fund raising committee who worked around the clock to make both
events truly memorable ones.
On 11th April, they successfully organised the Jogathon event
which saw approximately 400 participants including Archbishop Julian Leow and
myself.On 18th April, we witnessed once again the hard work and efforts of the
committee which saw through the Easter Gala Dinner – a fine 8-course Chinese
dinner with class entertainment and lucky draw prizes. They were determined and
succeeded in reaching their target of 100% ticket sales!A special ‘Thank You’ to
Joe Fernando (chairman), Leonard Paiva, Charles Francis & Michelle,
Gabriel, June Wong, Alex, Gloria, Nelson, Arulnathan, Margaret, Joseph Jambu,
Stanley, Shaun, Sharon and Amanda and the many others, young and old who have
worked behind the scenes. Syabas to our beloved Fund Raising Committee!I
would also like to extend my heartfelt thanks to you, my own St Joseph
Parishioners for making every effort to ensure the success of these
two events and making these memorable for all of us.
As many of you are aware, the St Joseph Community Centre was
built in 1987 by Rev Fr Anthony Thomas. After all these years of wear and tear,
the time has come for some renovation and refurbishment works to be undertaken
to ensure that our community hall, formation and meeting rooms are
in excellent condition for years to come. The construction
of a brand new Funeral Parlour and Adoration Room is also in the pipeline.
Once again, and on behalf of the Fund Raising Committee and the
various ministries involved, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude and
appreciation to all Parishioners, friends and guests for your moral support and
encouragement in aid of this restoration project.
May Jesus, Heart of
our Families bless you and your families always!
