In view of the Grandparents and the Elderly Day which is celebrated on the Feast of St. Joachim and Anne that falls on 28 July 2024, the Silver Liners, the ministry for the seniors of the parish of St. Francis of Assisi, Cheras, celebrated the occasion yesterday with a Gala Nite for about a hundred and thirty of its members and 20 guests. The evening was filled with much laughter with food, music and entertainment.
Adding flavour to the event was the presence of our Archbishop Julian Leow, who in spite of his busy schedule dropped in for a brief visit.
The evening culminated with many of the lucky participants carrying not only a lucky draw gift but also a small potted plant, a loving gift from the committee, supporting the Holy Father Pope Francis's Encyclical 2015, Laudato Si which focuses on our care for our common home with reference for our care for the natural environment.
