PASTORAL & FORMATION
We promote holistic care through human formation, values formation, social formation, psycho-emotional, moral and spiritual formation amongst the migrant communities.
Pastoral and Formation programmes are carried out through workshops, retreats, liturgical gatherings and fellowships, in collaboration with different partners and collaborators, such as archdiocesan organisations, parishes, migrant communities, schools and individual volunteers. Some of the key programmes are the Abundant & Better Life Abroad (AbBA) which focuses on values formation through experiential learning, Spiritual Living Through Art (SLTA) and Happiness Workshop.

AbuAbundant & Better Life Abroad (AbBA)
Focusing on values formation through experiential learning and places an emphasis on valuing self, others, work, community. This programme was developed to help migrants find value in themselves, value the importance of their relationship with God, family and workplace, and integrating and experiencing new culture as they build community here.
Spiritual Living Through Art (SLTA)
Participants are invited to reflect on how the Word of God impacts their lives and feelings. Afterwhich, express emotions, gratitude and hopes through art and craft as a form of prayer. We hope that through this, participants will be able to move forward and look to the future with hope.
Happiness Workshop
Provides the opportunity for participants to be aware of the importance of mental and emotional wellness as essentials to self-worth, values, and relationships.
Open Your Mind
Through this programme, participants can grow in awareness of the plight of migrants and the need for concrete actions as part of our Christian duties. It invites participants to relate the Catholic Social Teaching to Jesus and His Gospel, and to make a difference as individuals and community, particularly to the lives of migrants.
Know Our Faith
Through our online platforms, this initiative aims to share the basics of the Catholic faith, with the focus on the life of Jesus through the liturgical seasons and events.
