Lynksters Helped Out With Mask Distribution

On 3rd April, our Prime Minister announced a community "circuit breaker” in Singapore as the number of COVID-19 cases were rising. What this means is other than a list of essential services which are allowed to continue running, residents are encouraged to stay home. Schools and non essential offices were to remain closed till 4th May. He also announced that each resident would be given a reusable mask so that the surgical masks could be saved for healthcare workers. This followed after a nationwide distribution of hand sanitisers.

“Reconnecting” Online Discerners’ Retreat

Last March 26-28, 2020, the Discerners of the De La Salle Brothers of the Philippines gathered online for the annual Discerners Retreat.
