Choice Weekend QR
PIETA is a support group for bereaved parents who have united in faith to seek God's comfort. wisdom and hope. The session, run by bereaved parents, meets monthly on every fourth Tuesday to pray and support each other. We invite any parent who has lost a child (regardless of age and no matter how recent or long ago) to unite with us in faith.

Please email: pieta.singapore@gmail.com for enquiries.

We spend our days chasing what the world tells us will make us happy: success, recognition, comfort. Yet, even when we get what we want, there can still be a quiet emptiness within us, a tiny voice asking, “Is this really all there is to life?” Perhaps it’s because the fullness we long for isn’t found in what we have, achieve or become, but in the One whose love sets us free.

Come and encounter God in a personal way at Treasure #18, a stay-in Catholic Encounter Retreat specially for young working adults (ages 21–35) in Singapore.
