The GIFT (Giving in Faith and Thankfulness) campaign, launched in Advent 2016, continues to rally the Catholic community to support the Archdiocese’s pastoral vision of a more vibrant, evangelising, and missionary Church.
Through the generous support of the faithful, $19.2 million was raised for the Giving in Faith & Thankfulness (GIFT) programme in 2025, enabling the Catholic Foundation to continue supporting the life and mission of the Church in Singapore.
These contributions help sustain the operations of key Catholic organisations, care for the welfare of our clergy, strengthen parish sinking funds for ongoing maintenance, and advance the development of the Catholic Hub — envisioned as a future centre for formation, evangelisation and mission.
This work is closely aligned with the Archdiocesan Pastoral Plan, titled Communion in Mission. Shaped through a four-year journey of listening and dialogue involving more than 1,000 priests, religious and lay faithful, the Plan provides a shared direction for the whole Church.
It calls all Catholics to unite in living out the mission of Christ, guided by five key pastoral priorities that fulfil our Archdiocese’s vision to build a more vibrant, evangelising and missionary Church.
We are encouraged that overall contributions grew by 3% compared to 2024, and heartened that the number of monthly pledges continued to rise. Each pledge reflects not just financial support, but a personal and spiritual response — an act of gratitude to God and love for His Church.
As we journey together, we invite the faithful to continue supporting GIFT through prayerful and regular giving. Monthly pledges can be made at www.catholicfoundation.sg/give.
Please continue to keep the Catholic Foundation in your prayers as we work together to build the Church today for tomorrow.
Your monthly gift builds the Church today for tomorrow.
