TRANSITING TO TRACETOGETHER SAFEENTRY ONLY

Dear Parishioners of Holy Family,

To facilitate the increase in capacity for worship, Church of the Holy Family will be transiting to TraceTogether SafeEntry (TTSE) only.

We strongly encourage parishioners to download the TraceTogether App, an app by MOH and GovTech, at https://www.tracetogether.gov.sg #SGUnited or to collect your TraceTogether token.

This is in preparation for the phasing out of Safe Entry using Singpass and Camera QR Code scanner.

Do note that you will still need your NRIC / FIN card / other ID for MARS booking verification (for Mass) if you are using a token;

whereas your NRIC barcode can be accessed if you are using the app.

Thank you all and God bless!
