“There will be nearly 60 stalls set up by parishioners from the various ministries, who are working hard to prepare a wide variety of homemade delicacies for sale.
“We are calling on members of the public to come and support the sale,” he said in a press release yesterday.
Both cash and specially-printed parish sale coupons can be used to purchase various items such as chicken and pork pansuh, barbecued meat, kacang ma and special curries.
Also on sale will be homemade cakes, bread, pies, Nyonya kuih, biscuits, titbits and other delicious treats.
There will be a stall selling second-hand books, magazines, clothing and other pre-loved items.
A selection of wooden candle holders, goblets and trays specially handcrafted in England by a parishioner using wood unavailable locally such as yew, oak, holly, and cherry will also be on sale.
