The Church of the Holy Family’s hall was filled with jubilant spirit as the parishioners gathered to celebrate Easter and strengthen community bonds at the very first Easter fellowship event organised by the BECCOT team.

Uniting more than 700 parishioners from near and far, the event served a dual purpose of commemorating the joyous occasion of Easter while fostering a deeper sense of community spirit among attendees. The presence of parish pastors, Fr Michael Chua and Fr Bonaventure Rayappan, added to the solemnity of the occasion.

The programme commenced with an opening prayer and soul-stirring hymns that set the tone for the evening. A heartfelt speech from the priest further uplifted spirits and reinforced the significance of Easter in the Catholic faith. Attendees were then treated to a sumptuous dinner, providing an opportunity for fellowship and camaraderie.

The highlight of the evening was the captivating performance by the catechism kids, whose talent mesmerised the audience and added to the festive ambience. The Easter Bunny Mascot’s lively entry brought smiles to both young and old alike.

Moreover, the event featured an exciting lucky draw, adding an exciting element to the proceedings. However, it was the overwhelming support and dedication of the parishioners that truly made the event a success.

Volunteers, including enthusiastic youth, generously contributed their time and energy to ensure the smooth running of activities, from planning and setup to assisting guests with warmth and hospitality.

The impact of the Easter Fellowship event reverberated far beyond the confines of the church hall. It provided a muchneeded opportunity for parishioners to come together, rekindle friendships, and celebrate their shared faith after enduring the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. Attendees responded enthusiastically to the experience, expressing their gratitude for the chance to reunite and their admiration for the meticulous planning and organisation that went into making the event a memorable one.

In conclusion, the inaugural Easter fellowship event at Holy Family Church was a resounding success, leaving an indelible mark on the community and reaffirming the importance of collective celebration and togetherness. As parishioners departed with hearts full of joy and spirits uplifted, they carried with them the cherished memories of a truly unforgettable evening spent in fellowship and love.
