Last night was our first time to go to church of St Mary of the Angels *given that it’s in Bukit Batok hehe*, as we attended a seminar on baptism where dadi will be one of Chelsean’s (naynay’s new little prince) ninongs.
To be honest, when I first came in, I don’t feel like I’m inside a church. It’s weird because I didn’t see any crucifix or images of Mary to think that the Church’s name is St Mary. it’s really a huge place with a high ceiling. The only image you could see is that huge image of Jesus Christ hanging in mid-air which scared me at first *maybe because of the book I just read*. Dadi and I was wondering if it’s really a catholic church although they are providing baptismal service there.
When the priest started on the seminar, explaining us about baptism and the structure of the church, I’ve never understand some of the details in baptism better that how he had explained it. Either the priest is really good or God just showed me that where I am is still a house of God no matter how “modern” it looks. I am looking forward to this Sunday to go back to this church.
I took the liberty of borrowing these photos from the church’s website.
it’s really rare to see a priest from Singapore who looks like really enjoying his profession and could explain everything to people without losing their attention
In the middle of the church was this “baptism pond” where the baby can be dipped. beside it was another bigger version for adults’ baptism.
