The English Pastoral Group (EPG) at Don Bosco Parish is a dedicated and faith-filled community that serves the English-speaking members of our parish. EPG is one of the two pastoral groups at Don Bosco, alongside the Chinese group. Within the English group, experienced coordinators guide members in participating meaningfully in the liturgy and other ministries, helping to enrich the spiritual life of the parish and bring the faithful closer to God.

The Church itself is a living community, calling every member to serve God and neighbor. By participating actively in the life of the parish, individuals grow in faith, virtue, and fellowship. Communities like EPG foster healthy social interaction and a sense of belonging, where members can be themselves while forming genuine relationships rooted in trust, shared values, and a common purpose in Christ.

Moreover, the parish community provides a sacred space where each member can use their God-given gifts and talents to serve others. By actively engaging in ministries and parish activities, members learn to act with compassion, mindfulness, and integrity. They develop sensitivity toward the needs and feelings of others while striving to live in accordance with Christian principles and their God-given purpose.

At times, life can bring loneliness, brokenness, or uncertainty. Within the Church community, however, individuals find spiritual support, guidance, and encouragement. A faithful community provides strength during challenges, helps solve problems together, and celebrates God’s blessings in life’s joys and triumphs.

Being part of the EPG invites members to live intentionally in accordance with Christian values, embracing the call to love God and neighbor in every aspect of life. Within this sacred community, we learn to discern God’s will, respond to His call, and manifest His grace through our words, actions, and relationships. The EPG nurtures spiritual growth, encourages moral integrity, and instills a sense of mission and purpose in the hearts of all who participate.

Together, we witness the beauty of Christian fellowship, where joys are shared, burdens are lightened, and faith is strengthened. Through our communal prayers, liturgical service, charitable works, and acts of kindness, we bring the light of Christ into the lives of others, fostering a culture of love, generosity, and spiritual vitality within our parish and beyond.

Ultimately, the EPG embodies the call to discipleship, providing a pathway for members to grow in holiness, deepen their devotion, and contribute meaningfully to the mission of the Church. We invite all who seek to serve God and their neighbor to join us, to participate fully in our ministries, and to experience the transformative power of living in a Christ-centered community.

Come and be part of our faith-filled community, where love, service, and devotion to Christ unite us in joyful mission!
