The Reluctant Saint

PREACHING THE GOSPEL ANEW

The Redemptorists are celebrating 75 years of their presence in Malaysia and Singapore. In conjunction with the celebrations is the production of the musical - The Reluctant Saint. It was first performed 13 years ago as part of the 300 year celebration for St Alphonsus Liguori and very well received.

The musical is based on the life of St Alphonsus de Liguori, the founder of the Redemptorists Congregation. Born into a noble family in Naples, Alphonsus' life as a young hotshot lawyer takes a turn when he answers God's call to serve. It is a story that tugs at your heartstrings and a musical that entertains. Performing in the musical is a talented cast made up of young and old members backed by crew members who have come together from different backgrounds to tell this story.

The musical is also being performed in order to raise fund for the Redemptorists Congregation in Haiti. The Congregation there suffered tremendous loss and destruction of their buildings in the major earthquake in January this year.

All donations will go to the Haiti Disaster Relief Effort for the Redemptorist Mission.

So, "The Reluctant Saint" Musical is only in town for a one time only and not to be missed! I'm not sure if it's already sold out but here are the dates anyway.
