A Christmas barbeque gathering was organised for the three-language group altar servers of NBVM/SCIC on Sunday, 30th November 2025 from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00p.m. It was held beside The House of St Joseph. About forty altar servers attended this joyous event.
The evening began with the setting up of the barbeque pits by a couple of senior altar servers.

Reverend Father David Lourdusamy and Seminarian Brother Daniel Chan were also present. Brother Daniel led in the opening prayer.

This was followed by a briefing by the Altar Servers Co-ordinator. He informed the altar servers that this Christmas Barbeque gathering was organised in conjunction with the season of Advent and Christmas.
On behalf of Reverend Father Dominic Santhiyagu, the Altar Servers Co-ordinator thanked the altar servers for their faithfulness and commitment to serving at all the Holy Masses celebrated at NBVM and SCIC throughout the year 2025. He seek their continual support for the coming years.
Christmas carols were sung in English, Tamil and Mandarin by the altar servers.

This was followed by the barbeque dinner. A game of football was played after the barbeque.
The altar servers were visibly enjoying themselves for the evening.
The Christmas barbeque gathering ended at about 8:00 p.m. , whereby the altar servers helped to clear and clean up the area.
The altar servers returned home with happy memories of the evening so much so that several of them were reluctant to leave. (PL)
