Yesterday, the catechists at Holy Family Church took four bus loads of kids to the Major Seminary at Punggol. The kids were aged 8 to 11, and for the most of them, it was their first trip there. It was part of the Seminary's Open House.

Apart from the usual "What do you eat?" and "Where do you sleep?" questions, we had a few "How long do you have to study?" and "Why is the seminary located in a jungle?" too! The field trip included a slideshow presentation on life at the seminary, a walkabout around the grounds and refreshments at the end of the tour.

An experiential learning session for all the kids. It is field trips like these that make classes more interesting and I'm so sure it had left a deep impression on the kids... for life! During the Q&A, Bro Terrence asked if any one was thinking of becoming priests or joining the the religious order. At least 15 hands went up! Let's keep them all in our prayers! :O)

Check out the pool! Now everyone wants to become a priest!


The unique altar rock formation and cave was the idea of the late Bro Joseph McNally. I wished I had met the guy!
