Fr Anthony (Charles) Prabhu CSsR was ordained to the priesthood by Cardinal William Goh, Archbishop of Singapore at the Novena Church, Singapore on Friday 17 January 2025.
A group from the OMPH Church travelled down in 2 buses at midnight early Friday to attend the evening event and returned the same night arriving early Saturday morning.
It was a little tiring but the event was very grand and being in the new Novena Church was a treat. Just to view it now and compared to its former self was awesome, like a total transformation of adaptive reuse within the same grounds.
The event started with Cardinal William Goh and the long train of priests entering the church. For the next 2 hours it was wonderful event reliving all the steps of the ordination.

Perhaps it
was grand because his personality shone brightly during his words of thanks
which made him stand out as an all-rounder priest.

And then it was time for dinner. It was held at the back of church. It was spacious area.  |
| ..it was a wonderful dinner..simple and sustaining ..chappati, tomato rice, vadei and masala vadei and a desert PaiRasam ...it would see me through the night going home by bus ...... |
