音樂創作
我們邀請教友的孩子們在復活主日及每月最後的主日早上10:15英語兒童彌撒時與歌詠團一起頌唱禮成詠。我們將提供不同樂器，讓孩子們挑選、然後鼓勵他們與歌詠團一起高聲頌唱或舞蹈！我們現呼籲教友們能捐出新或舊的樂器如鈐鼓，三角鈴，搖铃等，好使有足夠樂器，令所有出席彌撒兒童皆可參與。如欲捐贈樂器請與聯絡Bernardine Krauel (電話6191-2773 或電郵 blai29@gmail.com)。
神聖慈悲串經及九日敬禮
慈悲串經是擁有強大力量的日常禱文，應在下午3:00頌唸，但亦可隨時頌唸。九日敬禮由聖週五〔4月22日〕開始直到復活主日後的第一個主日、稱為慈悲慶日主日〔5月1日〕完畢。在這九天內，教友們會頌唸每天的九日敬禮經文及慈悲串經，祈求耶穌應允個人的祈禱的意願。聖母軍成員將在今天聖枝主日彌撒後派發串經及九日敬禮禱文，教友們可向他們索取。每個主日在祭台後懸掛的耶穌像就是慈悲耶穌的畫像。

Making Music
All kids are invited to join the choir for the recessional hymn at the 10:15am Mass on Easter Sunday and the Children’s Mass on the last Sunday of every month. A box of instruments will be provided and all children at Mass are invited to grab one and join in. Dancing and loud singing are also encouraged!! It would be greatly helpful if you are able to donate used or new tambourines, maracas, triangles or bells so that we will have enough instruments for every child at Mass. Please contact Bernardine Krauel (6191 2773 or blai29@gmail.com) if you are able to donate used or new instruments.
Novena and Chaplet to the Divine Mercy
The Chaplet is a powerful daily prayer and can be said anytime, although it is recommended to be said at 3:00pm whenever possible. The Novena is a nine-day prayer combined with the Chaplet to be said on the nine days before the Feast of Mercy, which is the Sunday following Easter Sunday, i.e., 1st May 2011. The Novena therefore starts on Good Friday, 22nd April 2011. The Legion of Mary has a supply of the Chaplet and Novena prayer sheets and will be handing them out after Mass today. Please approach a Legion member if you would like to have one. The Jesus picture displayed in front of the altar at Mass every Sunday is that of the Divine Mercy.
Pastoral Care Ministry
If any parishioner is unable to attend mass and would like to receive Holy Communion in their home, please contact either Georgina Creally (English) 9838 1470 or Celina Wong (Chinese) 9373 9056.
