The Service was conducted by the Assistant Parish Priest, Rev. Fr. Julian Mariaratnam, reflecting hope in response to the commitment to standing in unity with those facing hardship during this challenging period. Staff of the High Commission, together with members of the Sri Lankan community in Singapore, including Sri Lankan migrant workers and friends of Sri Lanka participated in the service.

Mariaratnam led special prayers for the safety, well-being, and recovery of affected communities, and invoked blessings upon the people of Sri Lanka and the country’s leadership.
