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.
Your Giving Makes a Difference!
Contributions in Q3 2025 rose to $3.65 million, reflecting an increase of $0.27 million from the previous quarter. While one-time contributions fell, we are greatly encouraged by the generous response to this year’s Catholic Foundation Dinner. The number of monthly pledges fell marginally from 4,015 (Q2) to 3,989 (Q3).
We encourage every Catholic to make a monthly pledge, as regular giving remains the most sustainable way to support the Church’s long-term mission.
Your monthly gift builds the Church today for tomorrow.

Some Events Supported by Your GIFTs
Office for the New Evangelisation
On September 13, 2025, the Missionary Parish Symposium gathered 400 clergy and lay leaders around the theme “Our Parish: The Cornerstone of Mission.” Through Cardinal William Goh’s keynote address, parish case studies and guided discussions using the Missionary Parish Framework, participants explored how to move parishes from maintenance to mission.
Cardinal Goh reminded all that the Church exists to evangelise, urging every parish to undergo a pastoral conversion — serving not itself but the mission of Christ.
Office for Young People
On July 19, 2025, some 2,000 young people gathered for WITNESS25, a day to encounter Christ anew, witness His great love, and be inspired by one another’s faith.
Themed “We have seen the Lord!” (John 20:25), the event also marked OYP’s farewell to their Lorong Low Koon premises after 12 years of ministry. Their mission to lead young people to encounter, witness and proclaim Christ continues with renewed zeal.
