OLF PMEIA Outreach During Wesak Day Celebrations

n conjunction with the Wesak Day celebrations, members of the Parish Ministry of Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs (PMEIA) joined volunteers from the Church of Our Lady of Fatima in a simple yet meaningful outreach to pilgrims and visitors at the Buddhist Maha Vihara, Brickfields.

Through the distribution of vegetarian meals, parish volunteers had the opportunity to extend a gesture of hospitality, service, and goodwill to members of the wider community gathered for the celebrations.

This initiative reflects the Church’s commitment to fostering mutual respect, understanding, and friendship among people of different faith traditions. In a diverse society such as ours, opportunities for encounter and service help build bridges between communities and strengthen the spirit of harmony that enriches our nation.

The parish extends its sincere appreciation to the members of PMEIA and all volunteers who contributed their time and effort towards this outreach. Their willingness to serve is a reminder that acts of kindness, no matter how simple, can become powerful expressions of solidarity and neighbourly love.

May we continue to deepen relationships within our community and seek opportunities to build understanding, peace, and friendship among all people.
