If you can commit to a regular weekly time slot to accompany Jesus, please contact Paul Chu to join the Adoration Team and we will arrange the roster for you.

4. Sacred Heart Centre – Safe our environment; Fund our community: Sacred Heart Centre has now being placed three special recycling bins labelled “Containers for Change” (with green and white lids) for group members and visitors to deposit recyclable bottles. You are encouraged to bring recyclable bottles from home that you plan to discard and recycle them at the centre. This not only contributes to our community’s operation but also helps the environment while supporting community funds — a win-win situation. (Please note: do not put regular garbage into these bins.) Our scheme number is C11625886. You can also use this number as your household recycling ID. By collecting and depositing recyclable bottles at the designated Containers for Change centres under this ID, you will also be helping raise funds for our community. Thank you.
