CHAPTER 4
FIDEI
Novena Church Tour
FIDEI offers Catholic students the chance to join a weekly Catholic fellowship group , a mandatory experience for all Year 1 and Year 2 Catholic students . During these sessions , students connect with God through prayer and the sharing of their faith stories . Additionally , teachers provide brief insights into various aspects of the Catholic Faith .
This year , the students had the privilege of going on learning journeys to Novena Church , the Cathedral of the Good Shepherd , and the Church of Saints Peter and Paul , to find out more about the history of the Catholic Church in Singapore .

The programme also provides opportunities for students to encounter God through cohort retreats . Year 1 students participated in a Day of Fellowship , supported by senior students , fostering a sense of community through prayer and recreational activities .
Year 2 students spent a day reflecting on how God invites personal growth , centered around the theme of the Transfiguration . Year 3 and 4 students engaged in an overnight retreat conducted by the Redemptorist Mission Team . These retreats were held at the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary House of Prayer . Through the retreats , students got in touch with the spiritual life . Year 5 and Year 6 students took the time to connect with their interior life at the Kingsmead Centre , where retreats based on Ignatian spirituality are conducted .
