Praise him with tambourine and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe. — Psalm 150:4
The Service: Planning, practicing, and executing cultural programs for the SMTC and the Parish. They manage the entire process from talent selection and choreography to the final performance on stage.
The Culturals Ministry celebrates the rich heritage and artistic talents within the Tamil community. By organizing dance, drama, and traditional performances, they keep our cultural roots alive in a foreign land, offering our traditions as a sacrifice of praise. Their work ensures that the SMTC remains a place where our children can learn and take pride in their cultural identity.
The ministry’s responsibility is extensive, involving the careful selection of participants, hours of practice, and the coordination of costumes and music. They are the creative engine behind our community celebrations, ensuring that every program is executed with excellence. Their dedication often leads to breathtaking performances that are a highlight of both community feasts and wider Parish celebrations.
By representing the SMTC on the Parish stage, the Culturals Ministry builds bridges with other communities, sharing the beauty of Tamil culture with the wider Church. Their performances are often more than just entertainment; they are a form of evangelization and a celebration of the diversity within the body of Christ. They ensure the SMTC’s vibrant spirit is visible to all.
