HRC Youth Ministry

Okay, lets get one thing straight - this place looks like a freaking villa or mansion. No, wait. IT IS A FREAKING VILLA/MANSION/WHATEVER GIGANTIC STRUCTURE!! Minus the playboy bunnies, of course.



I missed the Mass service and the tour...so can anybody tell me what happened? From Clarice's photos, the place looks really top class and huge! Not to mention that it looks a little too good for an old folks home..

In church, Regina said:



So sleepy? I hope the mass is not too boring ya..



Then again who knows? This position can be rather misleading at times. If I'm not mistaken, there was a French priest preceding over the mass? I didn't manage to hear his sermon, so I might need some input here...!



After mass, it was time to play!! The youths were getting themselves busy trying to blow balloons for the old folks to play. I only hope that it won't suddenly burst - might give someone a heart attack!



John Sek's theory of evolution. Young->Not so young -> Exactly like the guys in the background. Regina, that goes the same for you too! And everyone of us.



Well from the pics, everyone seemed to be having a great time. But pics can be deceiving, of course. (Psst, you guys had a great time, right? I'm not talking about the KFC yaa)
Can you spot the aunty behind Regina? Hehe.



Uncle Paul had his fair share of fun too! He was requested to serenade to this sweet old lady. I wonder what must've been going through his head that time. "Jingle bells!" Was it not?



Here's a cheeky old lady. It proves that they are very much alive and not dull and boring as some of us expected them to be! By the way, the maintenance for her wheelchair cost RM10,000 a month! Would you believe that!??



We only had time for 2 games..after that it was time to balik *cough*..KFC..
The nice priest there also gave each and everyone of us a card, personally signed and from the bottom of his heart! Very meaningful gift indeed.



After that KFC here we comee!!! Eat kow kow. Never had this large group before at a fast food outlet. Isn't it great to join the youths? LOL!

Yeah~ Christmas is near~!


In church, the usual tree that hangs the simple wishes of those from the homes was set up in the main entrance...

I took one of the cards... I cannot help but to feel a little blue when I read the simple daily things that are listed as the things they wish to get this Christmas...

I felt very blessed indeed.


Yeah... we had meetings.
So it means that there will be activities coming up, like caroling and the mentioned out reach program this Sunday!

We are going to have our last caroling practice for the year this Saturday @ 6 to 7.30pm in St. Jude's room~

Do come and join us~!!

Have a nice weekend ya all!

So... what was "Hip and Happening" lately in HRC?


We had a COFFEE MORNING by the Confirmation 2 students to raise fund for the play~

OK... this time, I really think that I don't need to do much of the "typing"... picture tells it all~

*this is the very first time we have a chocolate fondue machine for coffee morning!!!*















As you can see... there were really A WHOLE LOT of FOOD~
And best of all, they are CHEAP for a fund raising coffee morning!

I thought it was more like a BAZAAR FOOD SALE instead...

So.. how did the people in church "react" to it?







Haha~! Caught cha!

Yes... they are all wearing their HAPPY faces~

BRAVO to the all the students, teachers and parents that participated!
I really think they made this a HUGE SUCCESS!

Bravo Bravo~!!!

Rev Father Matthias Ki Kia Lin passed away peacefully on October 24, 2008.

May the Lord our God bless him, and may his soul rest in peace.

I kinda only remembered that I haven't updated the blog about the Feast Day... hahaha (^^")

OK, here goes!

Last Saturday was HRC's Feast Day!

To start it off... the weather wasn't really bright and shiny in the afternoon...

I went to church early just so that I could get myself a nice parking space, cause they cannot allow the cars to park like the usual Saturday and Sunday masses since procession will be going on right after mass...

So yeah, it was raining... and it was really a heavy pour when I reached there...

Inside church, everyone was busy doing/preparing something...

We had both the Chinese and English group musicians for mass... and it was really superb!!

Tents were set up to cater for more people... this is the left side of the church, er... I don't really know if there is also a tent on the right side... ;p

Mass ended.. and so did the rain.. and procession along with the praying of the rosary took place.






Of all, these little flower girls were the ones having the BEST TIMES of their life! They were pretty much enjoying "sprinkling" everyone and everywhere with flower petals! (^^)

After that, it was DINNER TIME! *church calls it FELLOWSHIP...*

Zinc roof and tents were set up earlier in the day, and it was very much the driest place in church that day...

Each BEC prepared something special for everyone to feast on... I didn't manage to take any other picture of this scene, there were TOO MANY people and it was really over crowded! *and I was hungry too...* (^^")

In the hall, we have our very own Youth group *and specially invited Vima~* performing the entire night for the people..


We also specially invite our visiting priest *er.. I forgot his name, but I know he is from St. Ignatius Church* to go up stage and sing for us! He sang "You Raise Me Up" with powerful voice like Josh Gorban's!

Well, the Youth Ministry was called to ASSIST in the cleaning up...

But when our performers are done with performance, we realized that the place was pretty much cleaned up by everyone who stayed and helped. And so the performers had their dinner, and thank goodness they kept food for them!

Yup... this was how it looked like... All the other tables were kept aside... We had the EXCLUSIVE table all to ourselves, with Father Daniel and Aunty Elaina kept asking the performers to eat more...

After that, all that was left was to pack and keep the instruments and... yeah... lots and lots of jumbled up cables.

Oh oh... something that really caught our attention in the hall was...






The hall was fully deco-ed with BALLOONS this year...
We wonder WHY... hrm... *and some of them looks SCARY... and EVIL...*

That rounds up the Feast Day this year.

What's next in line?
Well, I'm not sure... I think it is about time to get ready for Christmas caroling~! Hahaha, how time FLIES!

Have a nice weekend everyone!
God bless
