SCC Mass Serving Schedule For May 2023
Laudato Si’ Week 2023
Laudato Si’ Week 2023 will be celebrated May 21-28 with the film “The Letter” to mark the eighth anniversary of Pope Francis’ landmark encyclical on care for creation.
This global celebration will unite Catholics to rejoice in the progress we have made in bringing Laudato Si’ to life, and show how the protagonists of “The Letter” are already doing so.
Here is the link to the Laudato Si’ Encounter: Monthly Prayer Guide – May 2023
This May we celebrate the diversity of the people and talents within our movement. We invite you to join in prayer with your community in this month’s Laudato Si’ Encounter. In it, you’ll find:
- a prayer to the Holy Spirit;
- a reflection to promote the power of love by Friar Jacek Orzechowski F.M. of the Franciscan Action Network in Poland
- the eco-conversion story of Aleksandra Ćwik-Mohanty, Laudato Si’ Animator from Warsaw, Poland, along with two images that for her represent the cry of creation and the song of creation;
- an invitation to participate in Laudato Si’ Week;
- and the Laudato Si’ Movement value of the month: Caring for one another.

2023 Elections Update: List of Parish Pastoral Council (PPC) Members
We are pleased to present the list of the elected Parish Pastoral Council (PPC) after the elections that were conducted at Sts. John and Sylvia Church on 26th March 2023. The elections were facilitated by the CJPD team.
The PPC is a leadership group chaired by an elected laity through which the priest in charge and parishoners work together as co-responsible partners in furthering the mission of Christ in the Parish.
The functions of the PPC include:
1. To assist the priest in charge in church administration and also enhancing communication from different levels of the church.
2. To assist the church apostolic work in evangelisation, catechesis, charity and social work.
3. To formulate pastoral and development plans and systems for the church
Congratulations to all the elected leaders and we pray that the good Lord may give you strength and hold your hands as you serve our Parish and our community.
Just like David was taken from the sheepfold to servanthood, like Moses (Ex. 3:1) he did his work with an upright heart and a skillful hand (Psalms 78:72).
May the words in the book of Isaiah 41:10 be your mantra and give you strength as you take up the leadership responsibility in our Parish, “Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God.I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous hand.
