Asian Mission...

We had our Collegio Mission's day last weekend...

It's that time of the year, usually on the last Sunday of the liturgical year (Christ The King), where the folks here bring out their country's image in a form of an exhibition stand.

We have many priests(-students) here who hail from various parts of the world, where most of them are from the African continent. We also have those from India, Vietnam and some from South America. One mustn't also forget yours truly from that little island state of a red dot we call Singapore!

So, I joined forces with the Malaysian and came up with a decent exhibit display of our own. We had displayed just about all we could get our hands on, namely from previous years and complemented others from the Internet. What was lacking and our greatest wish was a real DURIAN that we could offer to any brave person who dared to take it! Instead, we gave out durian flavoured sweets...

The Missions

Still struggling with my assignments! I have to get all in order before the exams somewhere in January 2008. :-P I also have one project paper to do that accounts for 45% of the exam marks for one subject...

Meanwhile, life goes on.

We started our exhibition of the missions this weekend. All priests from the various countries were invited to set up a booth to illustrate their country they came from and highlight,whenever possible, missionary items or activities going on there. There are booths from various countries in Africa, India, China, S. America, Indonesia and of course, Singapore. We joined with Malaysia to set up a booth as we are few in numbers.

The array of items that were displayed for the exhibition is simply amazing! Posters, clothings, musical implements, books, magazines and ornaments. One booth even gave out peanuts to anyone who wanted to taste them :-D

What our booth lacked most was the Singaporean flag!....
