Evangelistic Programmes
School of Witness
SOW is an 8-week, live-in discipleship school. It is open to any young person between 18 to 35 years of age. The school aims to provide an environment of faith in which young people can be encouraged and challenged to go beyond their comfort zones, to grow in the awareness of who God is and who they are. SOW typically runs from January to March every year, with a short break over the lunar new year holidays.
Nox Gaudii
OYP’s bi-monthly night of worship, preaching, adoration and prayer ministry. Nox Gaudii is typically held at our premises at 2 Lorong Low Koon, but since 2017, we have held it twice at the Cathedral of the Good Shepherd – once as part of the Cathedral’s rededication celebrations, and the other as an outreach and evangelisation effort. The event is open to everyone and anyone who falls within the ages of 16 to 35.
Exalt 21
As part of the Catholic200SG celebrations this year, the Office for Young People is organised a two-day programme where young people aged 16-35 years old could come to a personal experience of Jesus Christ and His Church that is vibrant and missionary. EXALT21 sought to lift high the name of Jesus and was an opportunity to encounter Him anew in the midst of this pandemic.
