Welcome to KAIROS, a publication of the adult faith formation office. The New Testament uses the Greek word ‘καιρος’ (kairos) 85 times to denote the ‘opportune’, ‘right’, or ‘appointed time’. It is used here in a similar sense. Now is the right time – the appointed time – to attune ourselves to the Word of God and to the signs of the times amidst the dramas of daily life. The idea for KAIROS took several months to ferment. We slowly realised that the Bite-Sized sessions that we were having are not as bite-sized as we had imagined them to be - they left little room to deviate to other pertinent areas of discussion. A newsletter would thus afford us a certain flexibility and accessibility in addressing you – the conscientious yet critical Catholic reader.

Like our weekly bulletin, KAIROS will be kept short and succinct. Keeping environmental responsibility in mind, KAIROS will be published on the parish website and can be subscribed to through the parish webmail. Only for those without internet access will a printed copy be provided. The theme for every issue of KAIROS will be grounded upon two pillars – the Word of God and the world in which we live in. With every issue of KAIROS, we hope to present to you a challenge and an opportunity to learn, to love, and to live the Word of God right here in this little part of the world we call Singapore.
