Opus Dei

These aim to help participants live their faith in their daily lives and find holiness in the midst of the ordinary. Below is the list of activities and contacts:

Mark first encountered Opus Dei in the 1990s but hesitated to say yes to God for decades, convinced he wasn’t ready. A retreat finally helped him realise that God does not call the perfect but helps the called to grow in holiness. Today, as a husband, father, and portfolio manager, he finds joy in prayer, strength in his work, and more presence with his family and those around him.

Fr Michael Chan (1955–2025) was a priest of the Prelature of Opus Dei who served in Singapore and the Region of East and South Asia. Known for his serenity, humility, and tireless dedication. He combined a brilliant mind with a gentle pastoral heart. Those who knew him remember his quiet humour, meticulous work, and deep concern for others, qualities that reflected a life wholly given to God and to the people he served.
