Discover the heart of Pope Francis through his writings!

Did you know that there are different types of papal writings that serve different purposes? In “A Joyful Journey with Pope Francis”, we will be diving into 3 types of papal writings: Apostolic Exhortations, Papal Encyclicals and Apostolic Letters. Understanding these documents reveals his apostolic vision and direction for us.

As we prepare for the upcoming papal visit, let’s deepen our spiritual journey by engaging with his teachings. Gather your friends, families, and communities to embark on a meaningful journey with our group resource!

Loving the Church isn’t a walk in the park, neither is it free from hurt or scandal. From suffering the judgements of those claiming to love Jesus, to witnessing the mistreatment that others have had to endure by those within the Church whom we expect the most out of – it can be difficult for us to reconcile our broken Church with the holiness that God has revealed about His Body.

You might wonder – “How can I trust the Church? How do I believe in a God who lets such evil happen in His Church? How am I to exist in a Church that lets scandal happen?”

Join us for our next Heart-to-Heart Conversations with Cardinal William Goh where we explore the topic of 𝙃𝙪𝙧𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙍𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣. Limited seats are available, indicate your interest by July 17 at https://go.catholic.sg/hth-4 For more, visit www.catholic.sg/heart-to-heart

Have you ever experienced a moment where you thought “The Bible is pretty interesting!”?

Susanah, Serene and Reuben share the times they had this realisation and what got them Hooked on the Word.

Living out our faith isn't always easy, especially when our faith calls us to not just believe, but to respond to our daily situations through eyes of compassion, love and grace.

"Faith does not merely gaze at Jesus, but sees things as Jesus himself sees them, with His own eyes: it is a participation in His way of seeing.” (LF 18)

So, how can we live out our faith today? Start by seeing the beauty in the everyday, the dignity in every person, and the divine in every moment. Then seize the opportunities that come our way to make a positive difference. An encouraging word here, a small act of kindness there. Let's strive to participate in Jesus' way of seeing, and transform our lives and the world around us.
