The celebration of the dedication of the Cathedral of the Good Shepherd brings the Church in Singapore back to that moment in time when the seed of faith is planted in the soil of Singapore.
That seed have grown over the years and from the humble beginnings of the Cathedral, there are now 32 churches in Singapore.
This is certainly not the work of man but the work of God.
It can be seen that God has a plan for the Church in Singapore to be a means of salvation and to be a sign of God’s presence.
Each church is the House of God and the house of prayer where people invoke God’s blessings with prayers and petitions.
Each church is also the House of God and a place of worship where people come to give thanks to God for His love and providence.
Each church is also the House of God where people come to encounter the presence of God and to come into communion with God.
Let us rejoice and give thanks to God for His blessings on the Church in Singapore.
Let us also go forth and be witnesses of God’s presence to others and to lead them to the House of God and to encounter Jesus our Saviour so that they too will experience the saving love of God.
