Novena To the Holy Spirit for the Seven Gifts

The Pentecost retreat is only two weeks away. Just as the apostles and prophets purified themselves before the Lord, so too must we must prepare ourselves to receive the graces of the Holy Spirit.

The Novena of the Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirits is a powerful Novena. We encourage you to pray this with us as a family every day until Pentecost, so that together, we may pray for each other and open our hearts to God while inviting His powerful presence in our lives.

Should you have any questions about how the Novena works, please don’t hesitate to ask any of us at Awaken.

“The retreat was amazing. Very moving. Really felt the presence of Christ and the Holy Spirit. Thank you for an awesome experience.”

“Thanks God for giving us this retreat. I need to refine my life. I need to keep my eyes on God. Put God in the first place in my life… This is a very good opportunity to combine the 3 parishes together to worship God and have growth spiritually.”

“Today I received PEACE!”

“Today I learnt that the Holy Spirit has been present in me all this time. I’ve been seeking, asking our Lord of the Holy Spirit to descend for me to receive.”

“I am grateful for the retreat. It introduced and emphasised to me the power of the Holy Spirit… I felt the Holy Spirit moving in us. This retreat is very enlightening and full of learning. Praise God.”

Rising Youth Ministry Launch Night a Success!

What a successful night! On Saturday the 27th of April we launched our new youth group called Rising Youth Ministry. Approximately 180 youths turned up to enjoy a night of music, dancing, games, prizes, short talks and activities. We’d really like to praise God for such a good turnout, and to thank all the parents and volunteers who came to help. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.

View the photos on our Facebook page

Our youth group is for youths aged 5-25. We have activities for every age group. If you would love to have your child learn more about God, or if you’re a young adult who would like to know more about God’s purpose for you, come along to our next event.

When: 12 May, 1.30 p.m.
