Greetings at Advent – By Claude Perera – President SLNSWCA
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I write to you today in this season of advent as it’s the time to reflect on how we can prepare our hearts and homes to celebrate the birth of Jesus. It is a time for faith, communities and families to remember through prayers, reflections and good deeds, the true meaning of Christmas.

Committee member assisting VP Liturgy on Religious Activities – Priyan Fernando
Committee member assisting VP Liturgy on Religious Activities – Lorensz Herft

Yours sincerely in Christ
