As Pope Francis prepares to visit St Theresa’s Home in Singapore, the anticipation is palpable among the residents. Victor Seng, the director of this Catholic care home for the elderly, shares his excitement for the upcoming visit.
St Theresa’s Home is a sanctuary for elderly and sick individuals who require long-term care. Victor Seng emphasizes the importance of providing a nurturing environment for those who are often overlooked by society. With the population of elderly individuals in Singapore on the rise, the need for places like St Theresa’s Home becomes increasingly apparent.
Mr. Seng reflects on the significance of the papal visit, stating that it not only strengthens the unity of faith but also serves as a source of encouragement for the residents and staff. The visit is an opportunity to feel the love and blessing of the Pope, inspiring everyone to continue their work with the spirit of Christ.
Despite the economic prosperity of Singapore, Mr. Seng acknowledges the fragility of its society, particularly in caring for the elderly. However, he emphasizes the common ground shared by all religions in advocating for love and compassion towards those in need.
At the core of St Theresa’s Home are values of compassion and care. The staff aim to provide the best possible support and love to the residents, ensuring that their remaining years are filled with happiness and dignity.
As the anticipation builds for Pope Francis’ visit, St Theresa’s Home remains a beacon of love and care for the elderly, embodying the values of compassion and unity that the pontiff so fervently promotes.
