Little Bryan's baptism

Last Sunday some of us attended Bryan's baptism. 14 kids of ages ranging from 1 month to 6 years old were baptised by Father John Wong who Signed his welcome address. It was an eye-opener for us, surrounded by babies and toddlers for their baptism - some of us must have felt like giants there XD!!!

Watch out for IDD end of this September!!!

Party Time

It's our Christmas and year end party!
We gathered together on 30 December 2007 at St Anthony, enjoying the barbeque spread, big Christmas cake and of course each other's company. The party was then followed with gifts exchange, that made us all excited. The day was full of fun and sweat too ;)

SCDC SMOTA do hope that you too had a great time with your family and loved ones!
We wish you a MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

November Gathering


It's the last sunday in the month of November! And yes, it's our gathering day!
This sunday, we celebrated "Christ the King", and eucharist was held in St Anthony Chapel.

As Christmas is around the corner, St Anthony Chapel and Friary have been beautifully decorated by the friars. We happily had a peek while joyfully preparing our hearts as we await for the coming of Our Saviour into our world!

Recollection Day


SCDC-SMOTA held its first recollection day on Saturday, 17 November 2007. About 20 of its members participated in this recollection, where we came to learn, share and deepen our faith as one family.

The morning was started with Praise & Worship. It was then followed by a session by Fr John Wong: "Love Each Other as I have Loved You", in which we washed each others' feet as gestures of love.

Afternoon session was enriched with presentation by Fr Joe Nathan on "The Eucharist Gathering Transforms Me" and sharing session in small groups.

Evening continued with adoration, penitential service and concluded with eucharist celebration by Fr John Wong.

It was indeed a fulfilling and enriching day!
Our deepest gratitude goes to everyone who had put in their precious effort and time to prepare, share and participate for and on this recollection :)

View the full recollection snapsots on our album.

The Canticle of Creatures


Recite the famous prayer written by St Francis, the Canticle of Creatures:

Most High, all-powerful, good Lord,
All praise is Yours, all glory, all honour,
And all blessings.

To You alone, Most High, do they belong,
And no mortal lips are worthy to pronounce Your Name.

Praised be You, my Lord, with all your creatures,
Especially Sir Brother Sun, who is the day
Through him You give us light.
And he is beautiful and radiant with great splendour,
Of You Most High, he bears the likeness.

Praised be You, my Lord, through Sister Moon
And the stars in the heavens.
You have made them bright, precious and fair.

Praised be You, my Lord, through Brother Wind and Air,
And fair and stormy, all weather's moods,
By which you cherish all that you have made.

Praised be You, my Lord, through Sister Water,
So useful, humble, precious and pure.

Praised be You, my Lord, through Brother Fire,
Through whom You light the night
And he is beautiful and playful
And robust and strong.

Praised be You, my Lord, through our Sister,
Mother Earth who sustains and governs us,
Producing various fruits with coloured flowers and herbs.

Praised be You, my Lord,
Through those who grant pardon for love of you,
And bear sicknes and trial.
Blesed are those who endure in peace,
By You Most High, they will be crowned.

Praised be You, my Lord, through our Sister Death,
From whom no-one living can escape.
Woe to those who die in mortal sin!
Blessed are they she finds doing Your will,
No second death can do them harm.

Praise and bless my Lord.
Give Him thanks,
And serve Him with great humility.

SMOTA's Animal Fair

Saint Franciss of Assisi - Patron of Ecology and Lover of all God's creatures
It's Saint Francis of Assisi Feast day celebration!
SMOTA hosts various kind of animals, gorgeous pets brought by their loving owners.

It was a happening sunday with many performances and competitions such as dog obedience show, best dressed pet, and fastest eating dog competition (won by Rowland's very own TRIX!)
And the happy day was finalized with the yearly animal blessings.

Let us all join the Franciscans throughout the world to pray in the spirit of St Francis for God's gift of creation and how we can learn to respect them and learn to live in harmony with them!

A simple prayer we can use during the week:

For all animals and creatures, their habitats and environment, their health and well-being, that they may continue to teach us of your wisdom and grace;
O Lord, our Creator, hear us.

For those who support and care for birds and animals sanctuaries;
O Lord, our Creator, hear us.

For animal companions everywhere, that we may see reflected in them the goodness and love of God;
O Lord, our Creator, hear us.

For those who care for our forest and trees and those involved in reforestation;
O Lord, our Creator, hear us.
