Today, we joyfully celebrate *the Feast of St. Agnes!

As we honour St. Agnes, the patron saint of the Saturday Group, we invite all parishioners and friends to join us in prayer and thanksgiving.

St. Agnes, who gave her life at a young age for her faith, remains a powerful example of purity, courage, devotion, and unwavering trust in God. On her feast day today, let us pray for the grace to emulate her virtues in our daily lives, especially in faithfulness, humility, and love for God.

*We warmly invite you to Mass today 21st January at 7:00PM* as we come together as one church family to honour St. Agnes with devotion and gratitude.

🙏 May God, through the intercession of St. Agnes, strengthen our faith and guide us to live lives pleasing to Him.

Come and pray with us!

*EMMAUS WALK – YOUTH EDITION ✨*
What a beautiful time of fellowship, prayer, and encounter with Christ on the Youth Emmaus Walk! The youth came together with energy, joy, and openness to the Holy Spirit — growing in faith and friendship.

📸 Here are some moments from the walk!

Let’s continue to pray for our youth — that their hearts may keep burning with love for God, just as the disciples’ hearts burned on the road to Emmaus.

God bless our youth! 🙏💫
