2025 Missionary Parish Symposium

The Symposium gathered some 400 clergy and lay leaders from across the Archdiocese. Through Cardinal William Goh’s keynote, real-life parish stories and guided discussions with a locally-developed Missionary Parish Framework, participants gained clarity, inspiration and practical tools to move our parishes from maintenance to mission. 

“Go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.”

  • For Small Christian Communities 

    Conversion is not only personal endeavour, but also something we live together as a community. How are we supporting one another in this journey, and how are we as a community turning back to God?
  • For Ministry

    Planning is essential in ministry, but it is just as important to involve the Lord in our preparations. How can we make sure Jesus is part of our plans, so that He leads us to where He wants us to be?
  • For Family
    
As a family, how can we move beyond our usual routines this Advent and plan ways to be more ready to receive the Lord Jesus?
