Hi celtricia & tinklebell - Wat a great coincidence! I pick my mum from Serangoon to come up to my hse to look after my baby every Sunday evening. That's why I church hop among the 3 Churches depending on timings.

Hi Sysac,
I am due in Nov for my firstborn. A girl. I attend Holy Trinity, but was married in Sts Peter and Paul.
Can I check with all mothers here, if you had delivered in Mt A? I personally prefer there since I am a catholic (although my gynae is based in TMC).
Hope that the Lord will grant me a healthy baby, cos I get paranoid sometimes...

hi betterwprld
Yes, I delivered at Mt A. Actually didnt want to deliver there cos it seemed quite worn down when I went to visit my friends before my preg. But then catholism won over and I must say I did not regret my decision. The nurses and sisters were great!!
Every morning, sister will go round the ward and pray with you and you can hv communion too.
I strongly recommend Mt A

Hi mooon,
Yes, I am also very interested in the Flower Rd one, but hesitated too long, so lost out on good timing slots.
They're left with the noon ones, which clashes with my girl's naptime. However, will probably still sign her up for it, since I have heard such good reviews.
Hi sysac,
So do you also belong to the parish of SVDP now? I still go there from time to time, especially if we can't make it on time for Christ the King. However, have to sit outside coz my girl's restless.

tenten - I was baptised at Risen Christ as an infant as I was staying in Toa Payoh. First Communion at SVDP as I was staying in Yio Chu Kang. Confirmation was at St Francis Xavier cos was staying in Serangoon. Moved to Choa Chu Kang after marriage. Now, I attend either SFX, St Joseph's or St Mary's of the Angels.
Haha, looks like I move around many Churches. lot.

Hi hi, great to meet all Catholic moms here.
We attend mass at CTK, our parish, usually on Sat evening. My girl also love the children liturgy. However,dont prefer the home Catechism at CTK, so may send my girl to Catechism class at St Anne's next yr.
We attended St Anne's mass occassionally. During the feast day last mth, we also helped out at one of the food stall... always enjoy St Anne's feast day cos' there are so much yummy food

Hey Moon,
Oic. I am a cradle Catholic. I come from a long line of Catholics (dad's side). Mum's side all Methodist but she converted before she married my dad. She told me she's always loved the Catholic Mass as she studied in a Catholic school and wld attend the Monday morning Mass.

Hi Catholic mums! I'm not Catholic but my husband is.
Just need some advice -- we used to attend service regularly at St Mary of the Angels when Fr Philip and Fr John were there; both my husband and I really enjoyed their sermons.
Since they've left, we've been church hopping, and frankly, I haven't heard an inspiring sermon in ages. Can anyone recommend a church to us?

Hi yellowpower,
That's a shame. I think a homily that is inspiring to oneself is a bonus, but the real point of coming to mass is, well, the Eucharist
I do agree it's nice if the priest speaks well, or the musicians are good though
In any case, hi to everyone else. I'm not actually living in Singapore, but coming next week for a month. Just wondering if there are any Catholic (or even non-Catholic) playgroups that I can just 'drop in', just so my 7 month old has some social interaction with the local children? Any suggestions appreciated.

Hi tootsieroll! Considering that I'm not Catholic and don't receive Holy Communion, my main objective of attending church is to listen to the message.
There was a time where I felt every message I heard was meant for me, that it applied to something that I'd done or said during the week. I also had something to take away with me, to attempt to put into practice the weeks after.
Essentially, I felt connected to God in the first time in my life. For me, that feeling's not a bonus, but the whole point, and I'm trying to get it back.

Yellowpower,
Ahh, that's fair enough. Good speakers are always nice. Do you know where the 2 priests have gone? Maybe you can go to the church which they have been transferred to? My mum goes to Our lady of Lourdes, and apparently they recently had a new priest who she said spoke rather well. I think spiritualiy of the indian congregation is also something to experience. The redemptorist priests at Novena church (Church of St Alphonsus) are also good. Which churches have you gone to so far?

Thanks Tootsieroll! I've been to Our Lady Of Lourdes, and it made me feel rather sleepy, but am keen to listen to the new priest -- could you let me know who he is?
I've also been to Novena church, Holy Spirit, Risen Christ, St Joseph's (Bkt Timah), Ss Peter and Paul, St Michael, St Bernadette, Sacred Heart, and Cathedral of the Good Shepherd. Hehe I think my husband and I have covered all the churches in the central and northern areas!

Hi YellowPower,
Haha, so were you dowsed with lots of incense?
My mum said because it's a relatively small church, the incense can be quite overpowering
I've not been to Our lady of Lourdes myself (living in UK), but according to the Church directory, it could either be Fr Augustine Joseph or Fr Sebastian Arulananthu. I think the new priest has big plans for the church, to renovate and revitalise the community, so it's a great time to be involved in it. I belong to Our Lady of Perpetual Succour myself, in the East, but perhaps that's a bit too far for you to travel

coffee drinker,
Not sure, but perhaps your parish may know? There are Catholic-run kindergartens, but I suppose those aren't until your child is a little older

U may check it out at www.cherrybrook.edu.sg

Hi all! Am a catholic mum too and have two girls, 5 & 3 yrs old. MH, you can go to Holy Trinity which is in Tampines. There is also a new church being built in Pasir Ris I think. I stay around Tanah Merah and attend mass in OLPS (Siglap) or Holy Family.
Any recommendations on a good catholic childcare out there? Seems difficult to find one that can inculcate our faith to the kids. Tks

Hi all...
What a nice thread to start. I'm a cradle catholic but hubby not. Was married and bb gal baptised at Queen of Peace church in Tg Katong. Have not been able to attend church regularly cos my 17mth old gal will not be quiet for more than half hr. V distracting for both hubby and me and everyone else within earshot. Would luv to meet up with other catholic mummies. Anyone interested?

Hi all,
Didn't come in here for a while since I started this thread. Looks like more Catholic mothers & babies than expected
Well, my son is a 14-mth old toddler now. He hasn't been to Church for a while cos I used to go with my mum so there's someone to help me out. She fell sick but is recovering now. So, we'll be going back to Church with him soon
