Daily prayer meetings

Hey guys,

We'll be having daily prayer meetings (Monday - Thursday).

Time: 12.10pm till we finish praying (perhaps 5 to 10 minutes :))
Venue: Wooden tables and chairs along Level 2 Corridor leading to Student Central

It's a casual meet-up and prayer time where we just take time off from our busy schedules, come together as a Catholic community and pray for one another. It will be a good time to offer up intentions (exams, assignments, family, friends, relationships, etc etc) and also a good time to just be still, and let God know that we trust in Him and allow Him to take control of our lives.

Hope to see you there! :)

Recruitment drive + post-TCS outing (in campus)

Shalom, everyone!

We had a recruitment drive last Tuesday with other clubs and societies, and boy, should you look at the crowd!

Our booth!

Then last Wednesday, we came together to watch the movie of Our Lady of Guadalupe. It was very very old and the audio was quite difficult to hear. All the same, it was an inspiring movie. For me, personally, I felt the movie taught me to never be afraid to stand up to the truth even when people may not believe me now because if God wills it, He will make it happen.


And I thought it was pretty funny when Juan Diego said to Mother Mary, "Good morning, Mother. Did you have a good sleep last night?" LOL!

After the movie, a few of us went for dinner at Truffles in campus.

The food was good but the fellowship was better! :D We had a great time with one of the hospitality lecturers, Mr Patrick, who got our table cracking.

Overall, it was a good week and we look forward to next week when we'll come together again in Room E6.14 and learn more about our Papa. 5pm, Wednesday. See you there!

Our Lady of Guadalupe screening... only in TCS :)

Shalom, everyone!

As you all know, we're currently in the month of Mary so we've committed ourselves to praying the rosary together every week. And today, we learnt how to pray the rosary in Bahasa Indonesia!

It was something different for us Malaysians, to pray in a different language. (And some of us even prayed the wrong thing! which caused others to stiffle their laughter) Nonetheless, we have to admit that the Indonesian language illustrates precisely the meaning of each prayer.

Next week, we will be coming together to watch a movie! It's on the story of Our Lady of Guadalupe.


So bring along your popcorn and snacks as we cosy up in room E6.14 at 5pm. See you all there! Pax Christi!

TCS gathering 3: Standing Up for Our Mother

Hi all!

Last week, we had a good time enjoying the creation of God by the lake. We shared about what we saw and felt and from there, reflected on the great things that God has done in our lives. How He has blessed us and loved us in the simple things. And how, with that much of love He has given us, we are to share and spread that love to our neighbours, classmates, families, friends, lecturers, the poor, etc etc.

This week, though, we will be in Lecture Theatre 7 to learn how to stand up for our Mother. We'll cover the common misconceptions of Mary and discover how biblical the Catholic Church teachings are on her.

So if you have always been asked questions like "Why do Catholics worship Mary?" or "Why do Catholics pray to Mary? The bible never says anything about that!", then come join us and learn the Truth.

We'll gather at 5 - 7pm as usual at the Lakeside Campus. Do bring along your rosary, as it is the month of rosary, so we will be praying it. And bring along your bibles if you can :)

Additionally, this month we'll be having weekly Rosary prayers every Wednesday at 5.00 p.m. Again do bring your rosary.
Unless of course if you're well versed using your fingers ;)

5th May : Standing Up for Our Mother @LT7 (Lakeside Campus), 5.00-7.00pm
12th May : Praying the Rosary @ E6.14 (Lakeside Campus), 5.00-6.30pm
19th May : Praying the Rosary & Group sharing @ E6.14 (Lakeside Campus), 5.00-6.30pm
26th May : Praying the Rosary @ E6.14 (Lakeside Campus), 5.00-6.30pm

See you there!

Pax Christi.
