NOVENA CHURCH

March 18, 2006

This is Novena church of Singapore. It is located just 5 minutes from the Novena MRT Station and it is a favorite church for filipinos living in Singapore specially for the thousands of maids who congregate here every Sunday.

Just like the Baclaran Church in the Philippines, this church is run by the redemptorist congregation .It is a church that has produced a lot of miracles,answered a lot of prayers and petitions much like what Baclaran Church and St Jude Church in the Philippines is known for.

Last Christmas, Father Angel gave a homily about several Filipinos whose petitions have been answered when they come to this church. Thus, hoping against hope, I started my novena in February and my fervent wish was that my kids pass their chinese exams. I know it is a hopeless case but I persevered. In my whole life, I had never gone to a novena much less finish one but I am determined to do so for my kids.

Less than 8 weeks into my novena my kids took their first Continual Assessment -and their grades were dismal. but I am not giving up. Somehow it gives me peace of mind that I will say a little prayer everytime for my two kids. It is still my hope and wish that despite their poor showing in school they will still be happy and healthy and maybe that is what GOD wants me to be blessed with and I thank GOD for this blessing of health and happiness.
