 Programme helps couples work through their grief
“We will always hold in you in our hearts as our first born….Mummy and daddy cannot hold you in our arms…watch you grow…but we know that you’re watching us.”
So wrote a married couple in a “letter” to their unborn child.
Six couples and a widowed woman, who had suffered miscarriages or stillbirths, took part in this exercise as part of a programme called Journey to Emmaus – From Grief to Healing.

Ex-students of Canossian-run schools and their children spent their Labour Day holiday bringing cheer to the residents of St Joseph’s Home in Jurong.
For many of the ex-pupils, it was also a chance to visit the Canossian Sisters living in the convent attached to the home, which serves the aged and destitute, and which is run by the Canossian nuns.
Some of the Sisters living in the convent here had taught the visitors and some are even alumni.

 Catholics who attended a programme for School Chaplaincy Teams (SCTs) conducted by an Australian Catholic school consultant said they gained much from it.
“I have found that my role in the SCT is to complement the already good Religious Education team and catechism committee” in school, said Ms Lesley Goonting, a chaplain from the Convent of Our Lady of Good Counsel.
