*What’s On SJCBT* 👦 *Happy Father’s Day* Today, we gather today to honour and celebrate fathers, grandfathers, and father figures who have made a profound impact on our lives. We thank God for the gift of fatherhood and the love, guidance, and support that fathers provide. May fathers be a reflection of God’s love and care, nurturing their families with tenderness and strength. Grant them the courage to face challenges, the humility to learn, and the joy of watching their children grow and flourish. We thank God for the gift of fatherhood, and for the countless ways that fathers enrich our lives. May we honour and appreciate them today and every day 🎼 *Prayer Thru Music: Christ The King* Date: 20 June (Fri) Time: 8pm Venue: St Mary AVA Room, Parish Community Hall Speaker: Rev Fr Andre Tan, Asst Parish Priest, Church of Christ The King - Praise & Worship - Scripture Reading - Intercessory Prayers - Spiritual Talk - Community Bonding Email: [email protected] 📖 *Scripture Series Part X: Book of Maccabees by Fr Ambrose Vaz* Dates (15 sessions): - May: 15 / 22 - Jun: 05 / 12 / 19 / 26 - Aug: 07 / 14 / 21 / 28 - Sep: 04 / 18 / 25 - Oct: 02 / 09 Time: 9am-10.45am Venue: St Joseph AVA Room 🙏 *Solemnity Of The Most Sacred Heart Of Jesus Mass* Date: Friday 27 June Time: 7.30pm (no 6.30pm evening Mass in chapel) Venue: Main Church **6.30am morning Mass as usual in Chapel of St Joseph 🎞️ *June: Month of the Heart* “St Margaret Mary Alacoque” screening by Family Formation Date: 28 June (Sat) To register: https://tinyurl.com/SJCFFSacredHeart Margaret Mary Alacoque VHM was a French Visitation nun and mystic who promoted devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Here are some of the measures that we will be undertaking: (1) Strengthened PEPT Team We will be deploying more PEPT members to each Mass. If any parishioners are keen to join the PEPT, please approach any of the PEPT members for information. (2) Promote a “See Something, Say Something” Culture Parishioners are strongly encouraged to report any suspicious activities or unattended items to any of the PEPT members or the wardens. In the same light, parishioners are reminded not to bring big bags/luggage into the Cry Room, Church or Foyer. These items should be placed at St Joachim's Room. Posters will be placed in strategic areas around the Church to remind parishioners of this. (3) Medical Professionals We are strengthening our pool of Medical Professionals. If there are any doctors / nurses in our midst, please do approach our wardens so that we can reach out to you should a need arise. (4) Keeping Calm in a Crisis Should any incident arise during Masses, please remain calm and follow the instructions given. This will help the authorities carry out their duties without impediment. We were complimented by the authorities that they were impressed that the congregation co-operated and remained calm during the incident on 9 Nov. (5) No Photography / Videography During Masses We remind all parishioners that there is to be no photography / videography taken during Masses. This is to preserve the sanctity of the Mass. Only official Church photographers are authorized to do so. If you observe anyone doing so, please do alert the wardens.
