On the feast of St Jerome last year (30 Sept 2019), Pope Francis established the ‘Sunday of the Word of God’ and called on the Church to be devoted to the celebration, study and dissemination of the Word of God. This Sunday we celebrate Bible Sunday. Join us LIVE this Saturday, 11 Jul 2020 @ 10:30 am as we speak about Catholics and the Bible in relation to Bible Sunday 2020.

Many of us are well aware of the different ministries in the Church because we see them 'in action'. However, there are also some that we do not know much about because of the nature of the ministry. One such ministry in the Church is the Prison Ministry. This week, Catholics At Home speaks to members of this ministry to find out more.

At a time when face to face contact is not possible or limited, keeping people “informed” is an important task - it is one-way of engagement. When there is a lack of information or access to it, this causes anxiety and also frustration. During the MCO, parishes used different tools to keep their parishioners informed. Catholics At Home speaks to some parish media team members on how they got started and what is required of those who are intending to start a similar team in their parish. Join us LIVE this Saturday, 6 June 2020 @ 10:30 am and find out how you can assist your parish in some way to set up a media team.

This Sunday we celebrate the feast of the Pentecost. The coming on the Holy Spirit on the Apostles was a turning point in they lives. For the first time, they were united by a common language, and a common zeal and purpose to go and preach the Gospel… the beginnings of a Church. Catholics At Home speaks to Deacon Clement Samuel on the role of the Holy Spirt in our lives and how the Holy Spirit continues to renew the Church even now. Join us LIVE on Saturday, 30 May 2020 @ 10:30am via FaceBook or YouTube for an interesting conversation.

We have heard it said, ‘when one door closes, another opens’. That can be said of the Church when MCO was imposed. From face-to-face meetings to online encounters was not an easy transition but a necessary one. Catholic At Home speaks to Andrew Tan & Nancy Liew, Gwen Manickam, and Deva Mary on their experiences of taking the Church online. Join us on Saturday 23 May 2020 at 10:30am as we also celebrate World Communications Day 2020.

“The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few (Mt 9:37).” This Sunday the Church celebrates Good Shepherd Sunday, a.k.a. Vocation Sunday.

It was Plato who said "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything."

Catholics At Home begins a new segment called "Jamming 4 Jesus”… to bring together musicians to praise God, for He is our life and strength. Come, join us.

Staying at home can indeed be a time to put our talents and creativity to good use.
