VISION
Our vision is to form a vibrant community of seniors 60 years and above at CHS, and facilitate them to lead a spiritually-filled and active, healthy lifestyle.
ABOUT US
- The Ministry organises weekly line dancing classes – an activity that helps to promote health and fitness, and encourages bonding at the same time. Activity is open to all age groups, with non-Catholics participating as well.
The line dancers perform at events within and outside the Cathedral when
called to do so. - The weekly Mandarin class has 20 students who also participate in the Cathedral’s events by delivering Mandarin songs.
- Spiritually enriching talks/sessions are conducted monthly – and
occasionally there are more if opportunities present themselves. The talks/sessions are open to all and we are happy to see some non-Catholics and participants from other parishes. Talks/sessions are followed by serving of refreshments to encourage fellowship among the participants. - Activities like art and craft sessions, educational talks, movies and the annual get-together promote social interaction and help create supportive relationships.
- Organising the annual local pilgrimage to Bukit Mertajam for the St Anne’s Feast exclusively for the seniors helps them to perform their act of devotion as a group.
- When there is a call for it, the Ministry involves seniors in service opportunities in the parish.
