A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us for the Pentecost Rally, last week. What a truly spirit-filled and uplifting gathering it was. From the vibrant praise and worship, to the powerful sharing, joyful fellowship, and moments of deep prayer- each part of the rally reminded us that the Holy Spirit is alive and moving among us. Let’s not let that fire fade. We invite you to continue this journey together at the Pentecost Vigil happening tomorrow evening at Church of St. Jude and Chapel of St. Michael, Batu Arang. Come, be renewed, be strengthened, and keep the Spirit alive in our hearts. See you there.
Ever noticed the priest gently singing, “Blessed be God…” during Mass? It happens during the Offertory - a moment that can seem small, but carries deep meaning. “Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation… for through your goodness we have received the bread we offer you…” In that moment, something beautiful is happening. The bread and wine placed on the altar are not just simple gifts - they represent: 🌾 God’s creation • the earth that provides 🤲 Human effort • the work of our hands ❤️ Our lives • our joys, struggles, prayers, and hopes It is a quiet exchange: God gives → we receive → we offer back And when we respond, “Blessed be God forever,” we are not just repeating words, we are making a declaration: “Lord, everything I have is from You… and I trust You enough to give it back.” This is the moment we place: • our worries • our gratitude • our families • our intentions right there on the altar. Because soon, by God’s grace, what is offered will become something far greater - the Bread of Life.
Come journey through a powerful time in biblical history as we explore the messages of the prophets who guided God’s people after their return from exile. Together, we’ll discover the teachings and encouragement found in the books of Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi - and reflect on how their words still speak into our lives today.
Come and experience the power and presence of the Holy Spirit at St. Jude’s Pentecost Vigil. As we gather in prayer and unity, let us open our hearts to be renewed, strengthened, and filled with the gifts of the Spirit—just as the disciples were on that first Pentecost. 🕊️ “Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love.”

On this World Communication Sunday, we are reminded that communication is more than just words - it is a mission. In a world filled with noise, God calls us to be voices of truth, hope, and love. Every message we share, every post we make, every conversation we have can either build bridges or create distance. As followers of Christ, we are invited to communicate with compassion, to listen with understanding, and to speak with kindness. Let us use our platforms - big or small - to reflect the light of Christ. Whether through social media, conversations with family, or service in our communities, may we be instruments of peace and connection. May our words inspire, our actions uplift, and our presence remind others that they are seen, heard, and loved.
It turned out to be a meaningful and engaging afternoon as our catechism children took part in an interactive introduction to sign language, conducted by the Archdiocesan Catholic Ministry for the Deaf. Through fun, hands-on activities, the children were introduced to basic signs and expressions, learning not just a new way to communicate, but also the importance of inclusion, empathy, and understanding towards the Deaf community. The session was lively and participative, with plenty of laughter as the children eagerly practiced signing with one another. More than just a learning experience, it was a beautiful reminder that communication goes beyond words, and that small efforts can build bridges within our community.
𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕮𝖔𝖒𝖒𝖎𝖓𝖌𝖑𝖎𝖓𝖌 𝕽𝖎𝖙𝖊 𝖆𝖙 𝕸𝖆𝖘𝖘 During Mass, the priest breaks the consecrated host and places a small piece into the chalice. This action is called commingling. What does it mean? • 𝓢𝔂𝓶𝓫𝓸𝓵 𝓸𝓯 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓡𝓮𝓼𝓾𝓻𝓻𝓮𝓬𝓽𝓲𝓸𝓷 The bread and wine are consecrated separately, symbolizing the death of Jesus (the separation of His Body and Blood). When the priest places a fragment of the host into the chalice, it represents the reunion of Christ’s Body and Blood, showing that He is risen and alive. • 𝓢𝓲𝓰𝓷 𝓸𝓯 𝓤𝓷𝓲𝓽𝔂 In the early Church, this practice was linked to the to the fermentum, where a portion of the Eucharist from the bishop (or the Pope) was shared with other communities. This showed that all believers were united in one faith and one sacrifice. Commingling is the direct modern continuation of the fermentum. • 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓟𝓻𝓪𝔂𝓮𝓻 As the priest performs this action, he quietly prays: “May this mingling of the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ bring eternal life to us who receive it.”
The Confirmation candidates from St. Jude’s Church and Church of the Good Shepherd gathered for a joyful and enriching camp as part of their preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation.

It is truly a great honour and blessing for our parishioners to witness and be part of this profound and grace-filled journey - from their calling, formation, and ordination, to this sacred moment at the altar.

Lord Jesus Christ, Good Shepherd of our souls, You continue to call, to invite, to awaken hearts. Tonight, we gather in Your presence— not to speak much, but to listen… not to ask for many things, but to discover Your gift within us. In a world filled with noise, teach us silence. In a world filled with fear, teach us trust. In a world searching for meaning, reveal to us the beauty of our vocation. We place before You the young people of our Archdiocese, our families, our priests, our religious— that each may hear Your voice clearly. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Join the Legion of Mary every Thursday at 8pm as we gather in prayer, fellowship, and service under the guidance of Our Blessed Mother.
The “I AM” Statements in the Gospel of John and the Divinity of Jesus In the Gospel of John, Jesus Christ, makes a series of profound declarations known as the “I AM” statements. These are not merely descriptive phrases, but powerful revelations of His identity and divine nature. The phrase “I AM” itself holds deep significance, echoing God’s self-revelation in the Book of Exodus, where God declares, “I AM WHO I AM” (Exodus 3:14). By using this expression, Jesus is not only teaching about spiritual truths but also identifying Himself with God. Each “I AM” statement reveals a unique aspect of who Jesus is: “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life” (John 14:6) highlights that Jesus is the only path to a relationship with God, embodying truth and offering life. “I am the Light of the World” (John 8:12) reveals Jesus as the one who brings truth, guidance, and clarity, overcoming the darkness of sin and confusion. “I am the Good Shepherd” (John 10:11) emphasizes His loving care, protection, and willingness to sacrifice His life for His people. “I am the Bread of Life” (John 6:35) shows that Jesus is the source of spiritual nourishment and eternal satisfaction. Just as bread sustains physical life, He sustains the soul. “I am the Resurrection and the Life” (John 11:25) declares His authority over death and His power to grant eternal life. “I am the Gate for the sheep” (John 10:7) presents Him as the entry point to salvation, the one through whom believers find safety and belonging. “I am the True Vine” (John 15:1) illustrates the importance of remaining connected to Him, as He is the source of spiritual growth and fruitfulness. Together, these statements form a rich and unified testimony to the divinity of Jesus. They reveal Him not just as a teacher or prophet, but as the life-giver, guide, protector, and Savior. Through these declarations, the Gospel of John invites believers to recognize Jesus as truly divine and to enter into a living relationship with Him.
Join us in celebrating the First Mass of Fr. Anthony Robert and Fr. Philip Asirwalam at our church. With hearts full of joy and gratitude, we invite you to witness this beautiful milestone in their priestly journey. Come and be part of this special Eucharistic celebration as we pray for them and receive blessings together.

May – Month of Mother Mary As we enter the beautiful month of May, we invite all parishioners to come together in honour of our Blessed Mother, Mary.
