To God Be the Glory

It's the 50th Anniversary of the parish we attend; Church of St Vincent de Paul. Every year, around this time, before the Feast Day of St Vincent de Paul, we will have a Novena (9 evenings of mass), ending with mass on the actual Feast Day itself (so 10 days in all).

There will usually be a theme and this year, it's "To God Be the Glory". Different priests are invited to celebrate mass and the homilies follow the main theme. Here are the homilies:

19 Sept 2013 (Thurs) - God The Supreme Being

20 Sept 2013 (Fri) - God The Father Almighty

21 Sept 2013 (Sat) - God the Creator of Heaven and Earth

22 Sept 2013 (Sun) - God becoming Man: Jesus Christ - The Incarnation

23 Sept 2013 (Mon) - God lived among us: Life and Ministry of Jesus

24 Sept 2013 (Tue) - God suffered and died for us: Passion and death of Jesus

25 Sept 2013 (Wed) - God Exalted His Son: Resurrection and Ascension of Jesus

26 Sept 2013 (Thur) - God the Lord and Giver of Life: The Holy Spirit

27 Sept 2013 (Fri) - God continues working in His Church: The Holy Spirit in the Church

28 Sept 2013 (Sat) - The Blessed Trinity - Three Persons - One God (To be celebrated by Archbishop William Goh)

So, we're sort of concentrating on attending this at the moment and have had to say 'No' to invitations by friends and family to attend other stuff. This sort of makes us unpopular if you don't know where we're coming from putting our priorities right but Mike and I are in agreement on this so there.
