Singapore president

As social divisions harden and ethnic tensions rise in the world, Singapore must “zealously” guard its racial and religious harmony which remains the “foundation” of the city state, said Singapore President Tharman Shanmugaratnam.

The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Singapore is to archive vestments worn by Pope Francis for mass on September 12 and other items he used during his visit to the city-state.

Following Pope Francis’ apostolic visit to Singapore, a nun stressed that it is the perfect time for
interreligious dialogue to “go beyond meetings.”

“His presence on our island reminds us of God’s presence in our midst,” said Goh in a social media post on September 18.

Before returning to Rome, the Holy Father met young people from other religions in Singapore at Catholic Junior College on 13rd September 2024.

Pope Francis urged Singapore to prioritize inclusivity and the well-being of marginalized groups amid its remarkable growth and success.

About 50,000 people were coming in the National Stadium on 12th September, with sticky security checking for the Holy Mass with the Holy Father, Pope Francis.

Pope Francis arrived in Singapore at 2:45PM in Singapore time at Changi International Airport after the visiting from Timor Leste.

Pope Francis held a private audience with Tharman Shanmugaratnam, President of Singapore, around two months ahead of his apostolic visit to the Southeast Asian nation.
