The Cathedral of the Good Shepherd rocked with praise, worship and exuberance as it hosted 1,500 young Catholics from various walks of life for the Nox Gaudii event.
Titled “Welcome to the Father’s House”, Nox Gaudii (Latin for Night of Joy) was organised and animated by the Office for Young People (OYP). The Feb 18 event featured praise and worship, preaching by Archbishop William Goh, Eucharistic adoration, confession, prayer ministry and fellowship.
The evening began with an opening address by Fr Jude David, one of the OYP chaplains, who highlighted the importance of young people in the Church of Singapore.

Archbishop William Goh, together with about 70 priests, celebrate the cathedral’s Dedication Mass on Feb 14.
By Jared Ng
The air was thick with anticipation as Catholics gathered for the historic Dedication Mass of the newly restored Cathedral of the Good Shepherd on Feb 14.
The date was significant as it marked the 120th anniversary of the cathedral’s original dedication in 1897.
As there were limited seats in the cathedral, most of the 2,500 participants viewed the three-hour celebration from a large tent outside while others peered through the building’s windows.
Joining the 70 or so priests, and various Religious at the event, were guest-of-honour Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean; Minister for Manpower Lim Swee Say; Mr Lim Boon Heng, cathedral restoration steering committee chairman; Council of Presidential Advisers chairman J.Y. Pillay and Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon.
