Following the establishment of the 333 Scouts and the Children's Choir, a Senior Club
dedicated to the service of the elderly is being launched. On top of providing
recreational and other elderly services, the group emphasizes spiritual development.
The group minister is Sr. Pia.
The club is in its preparatory stages and it will be soliciting volunteers shortly; please
watch for announcements in the bulletin. Sr. Pia states that the first event of the
Senior Club will be to establish a "Senior Appreciation Day". The actual date will be
announced shortly.
Some have asked why the Scouts are named '333'. The reason is because the true
name of the group is "Chinese Martyrs Church Scouts", and 'C' is the third letter of
the alphabet, while 'M' is the thirteenth letter. Adding them together yields '333'
Scouts. The fee collected by the group goes towards the Scouts Office insurance,
while a smaller portion goes towards miscellaneous expenses.
Similarly, the fee collected by the Children's Choir goes towards the children's
activities expenses.
