Last Saturday, 21 May, after a likewise 2-year hiatus, we held First Communion and Confirmation rites again for our eligible Catholic SSCians.
Our celebrant, Archbishop Jose S Palma, was very happy to see the community gather at The Archdiocesan Shrine of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus (Sacred Heart Church). He shared that while he knows SSC is known for its academic strength, we are also putting equal emphasis on a child’s spiritual growth.
Despite the new normal of masks and other safety protocols, it was a beautiful and meaningful close to 2-hour ceremony. We are grateful to the Catechism Teachers who prepared our 47 Communicants and Confirmands months prior and the Admin Team of SSC for putting the whole thing together.
SSC is non-sectarian but offers optional after-school religion classes.
