Our Mission

Our mission is simple: to serve families, one family at a time!
Jubilee Year 2025!

Families, let's be pilgrims of hope!

Families are encouraged to download the poster of the Family Jubilee Door. Each family is invited to stick it on a door in your house.

This is to remind us to live according to the gospel once we pass through the door of our home.

Families who downloaded copies are asked to make coloured copies for fellow families.

This is one way to live the Jubilee Year. We perform an act of charity for others.

You can also download the poster here!
