5. Lectors.
6. Society of St
Vincent de Paul.

YOUR
GENEROSITY TO
HELP IMPROVE
OUR PARISH
FACILITIES IS
MUCH
APPRECIATED
The PCH is
undergoing
extensive
renovations to:
• Relocate the
Adoration Room.
• Reconstruct the
AVA Room.
• Restructure the
Hall and convert it
to an auditorium.
• Redesign the
Basement for
better usage of
space.
• Add more rooms
for Catechism
classes and for
ministries’
meetings.
• Music Rooms for
choirs to practise.
• Add a new Chapel
for daily Masses
and Weddings.
All these will cost
$7.5m but with
prudent spending
and conservative
budgeting, we only
need an additional
$750,000. Your
generosity is very
much appreciated.
Donate up to $2,500
towards the Church
Building Fund and
have your name or
the names of your
loved ones inscribed
on the Donors’ Wall
