After four consecutive days of delivering lectures for chaplaincy teams, Fr Ron Bagley delivered his last lecture on "Citizenship in the Community" on the 27th of August. It focused on Catholic Social Teaching and how it applied to the situation in Singapore Catholic schools. Teachers from a wide cross section of Catholic schools attended the talk which included sharing local experiences and watching a ten minute video.

Road Show at Christ the King church

We had a road show on the 14th and 15th of August at the church of Christ the King. The aim was to acquaint parishioners on the work ACCS does, to contact teachers from non Catholic educational institutions and to look for volunteers amongst the parishioners for service at the various schools.
Announcements and a brief were made at the three most well attended masses, Sunset 5.30pm, 9.45am and 11.30am. We received some thirty written requests and countless inquiries.
ACCS would like to thank Rev Fr Peter Koh for use of the church.
