Dear Alumni & Parents, Catholic Junior College will soon have a new chapel, which will serve as the centre of spiritual life in the college. I am appealing to you to help us complete this project. The college currently has 450 Catholic students. Our existing prayer room is too small for our regular weekday Masses. The chapel will seat 200 and provide a conducive environment for group prayer and liturgy.

Dear Alumni & Parents,

Catholic Junior College will soon have a new chapel, which will serve as the centre of spiritual life in the college. I am appealing to you to help us complete this project.

The college currently has 450 Catholic students. Our existing prayer room is too small for our regular weekday Masses. The chapel will seat 200 and provide a conducive environment for group prayer and liturgy.

Known officially as the House of Prayer, the chapel will welcome all who wish to enter, regardless of religion. Former students may also consider returning to the college to have their marriages solemnized in the chapel.

Architect Mark Chin, a former CJC student, designed the curved chapel. Four stained glass panels by Koh Bee Liang will depict Bible scenes including the Last Supper, adding colour and inviting contemplation for all those who enter.

The college has to bear the full cost of building and maintaining it. The cost is $1.4 million. We now need your generous support to complete the building and provide for the furnishing.

I hope you will consider contributing what you can, and there are two ways in which you can help:

• Make an outright donation, by sending a cheque payable to Catholic Junior College;
• Sponsor one of the items listed in Appendix A. Sponsorship is being coordinated by Mdm Lum Poh Ling, who can be contacted at 6252 4083.

Donations of $ 1,000 and above will be commemorated on a donor’s plaque. Unfortunately, donations are not tax-deductible because this is a church building.

In Veritate et Caritate

Yours sincerely,

Brother Paul Rogers FSC
