Giving in Faith and Thankfulness (GIFT) Quarter 1 Update (1 January - 31 March 2026)

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. Every GIFT, whether large or small, becomes part of this shared mission.

CONTRIBUTIONS UPDATE

Your GIFT, Their Hope — Together in Mission In the first quarter of 2026, your generosity helped sustain the work of youth ministry, evangelisation, catechesis, Catholic education, clergy care, parish maintenance, and the development of the Catholic Hub — a future centre for formation, mission and community.

Together, the Catholic community contributed $3.12 million, with about 4,000 Catholics continuing to support the Church through regular pledges. The steady commitment of regular givers remains a strong sign of faith and hope. We are also encouraged by the increase in 3rd Sunday 2nd collections across parishes, reflecting the continued spirit of generosity within our Church.

Your giving is not simply funding programmes — it is helping to form hearts, support leaders, care for clergy, strengthen parishes, and build spaces for mission.

Some Archdiocesan Organisations’ Events Supported by Your GIFT

Archdiocesan Commission for Catholic Schools (ACCS) 

On 25 January 2026, four newly appointed principals of Catholic schools and preschools were commissioned at the annual Commencement of School Year Mass, organised by ACCS and the Council of Catholic Schools’ Principals.  Each received a lighted candle from His Eminence William Cardinal Goh, symbolising the light of Christ entrusted to them. Through your generosity, Catholic schools continue to form not just minds but hearts rooted in Christ.

Catholic Theological Institute of Singapore (CTIS)

On 14 March 2026, 61 students graduated from the Catholic Theological Institute of Singapore - 41 with Certificates, 18 with Diplomas, and 2 with Advanced Diplomas in Theology. The ceremony was presided over by His Eminence William Cardinal Goh. Because of your support, more Catholics are equipped to teach, serve and lead in faith.
