Oh yeah, I am attending RCIA there now. So far so good. I actually called up St. Joseph's and St. Mary's for the RCIA course but in the end, went ahead with St. Mary's instead.
Mainly 2 reasons:
- St. Joseph's RCIA will start only after Easter and I really wanted very much to start ASAP
- The way RCIA is conducted there
It really depends very much on what "learning style" you like. Some of the churches conduct it almost like a class where the priest will teach some readings from the bible and then there will be a break out session to discuss and then back to the bible again.
St. Mary's does it using a book which is called Our Journey Together (OJT for short) and each session is conducted usign a chapter of this book. There are 3 parts to the book where the first part basically uses "live instances" (things / experiences from our everyday lives) where we will read the short story and then discuss about it. Thereafter, we will go through a reading from the bible, discuss it and the last part of the session is a sharing session of our own experiences and how they relate to the story.
I sorta prefer this sort of sharing session so as to learn by listening to others and then share our faith together. So, in a way, it is very much based on your learning preference.

Hey, I got yr mail. Will reply in a bit...
So check yr acc at end of day yah?
Wah, 4" heels???!!!??? I can barely balance in 3.5" and I guess I am used to being petite liao lah. Am only 157 - 158. Thankfully my HB is not very tall, think 173 / 174. So it is still ok.
Actually, to be frank, HB and I have been under all kinds of scrutiny because we are doing e/thing backwards. We ROMed 2 years back and we shifted into our own apt Nov of 2002. In the beginning, there was no "voicing" out that we need to have a wedding banquet and a church wedding. Then some time last year, kena forced and sigh... now we are having so many problems with the church wedding. ILs die die say got new rules and I am truly quite pissed. 'Cos they said that because of this new rule, it will depend on which priest wanna marry us and in the end, they selected some place near Yio Chu Kang which is very very far for all of us but near to their place. I am not entirely happy with this because being the bride, it is gonna be such a long and tiring day so I would rather have the wedding near my place or near to the hotel. So, we are still "debating" over this. Sigh...
