The Lourdes Skill Centre started in August 2005 after the parish priest, Fr.Augustine had approached Ms. Elizabeth Tan, the chairperson of the Archdiocesan Commision for Migrants and Interants to look into the possibilty of setting up a small skill centre for the Tamil speaking migrants who come to our parish. ACMI gave us support with computers and furniture and we started Basic Computer and English classes. These classes were held on Sundays from 11.30am to 4.30pm. The teachers give of their services on a volunteer basis and we are looking for more teachers. The classes are held from January to May and from July to December. They are open to all Tamil speaking migrants in Singapore irrespective of their religion.

Please note : Due to the Renovation and Restoration of the Church in 2010 and the resulting shortage of rooms at the Parish Centre, there will be no computer and English classes in the year 2010. We are very sorry about this arrangement and we will keep you informed in good time when the classess will resume again.
