Since moving back to the newly redeveloped St Joseph’s
Home, we have celebrated many mini occasions and built a
store of fond memories. Happiness is made of these!
CIRCLE OF LIFE
Over 7 months (Aug 2017 - Feb
2018), the boys from the Singapore
Boys’ Home and St Joseph’s Home
residents created this piece of art
featuring 132 canvas panels and
ceramic tiles bearing symbols of
a fruitful life. The rainbow colours
represent vibrancy and the butterfly,
new beginnings. The collaboration
marks the start of the partnership
between us which we hope will
blossom into friendship and support
for one another when the time comes.
The art piece was done under the
guidance of the Art Vessels team led
by Shirley Ho.
LUNAR NEW YEAR
STEAMBOAT REUNION
(FEB 2018)
They brought the love, while we prepped
the food. The Lunar New Year was an
excuse for us to invite the families of our
residents over so they could have a nice
hot pot dinner with their dear ones. It’s all in
celebration of the family during the season
of new beginnings.
THURSDAY OUTINGS
78 | St Joseph’s Home
Regular weekly outings resumed soon after the
move back to Jurong West, much to the delight of
residents. Such trips were a good chance for staff
and volunteers to get to know the residents better
and vice versa. Places they have visited include
Vivocity and Jurong Bird Park.
