BLYM Weekly Updates

Hey people,

Have you guys seen the parish newsletter last weekend? What? No? Aiyo, you are missing a great deal of parish news then. If you haven't taken one, I really encourage you to take one to share with your family. If you had already taken one, I suggest that you take another one for any of your friends who haven't been coming to our parish for some years to let them know about what's going on within our parish. And of course, love offerings to subsidise the printing costs are always welcomed:) You can pass the donations to either Father Michal, myself or Terence Tay directly.
