German Speaking Catholic
Community St. Elisabeth
The Fraunhofer Project Centre for Interactive Digital Media
(Fraunhofer IDM@NTU) was launched in June 2010 under the
auspices of Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and Fraunhofer
Gesellschaft, Europe’s largest institution for applied research. The
Centre is facilitated by the IDM Programme Office and funded by
the National Research Foundation, and is part of the International
Research Centres landscape in Singapore.
The Centre’s research in interactive digital media technology covers
a range of key topics in Visual Computing such as Virtual and
Augmented Reality, Medical Computing, Visual Analytics, Visual
Haptics, Neuroscience and Neuromarketing and Human-Computer
Interaction.
These enabling technologies developed at Fraunhofer IDM@NTU
contribute to the Smart Nation Programme and provide added value
to various industries such as smart manufacturing and Industry
4.0, services and digital economy, education and future learning,
healthcare, smart living, urban mobility, aviation, energy, maritime,
science and engineering, and many more.
Fraunhofer IDM@NTU works closely with Fraunhofer IGD, Germany,
and NTU. Fraunhofer IDM@NTU is the coordinator of the Joint PhD
Programmes between NTU and Technische Universität Darmstadt and
Graz University of Technology.
Being one of 120 German speaking foreign Catholic Communities
across the globe, our community – as part of the R.C. Archdiocese of
Singapore - aims at providing German speaking Catholics in Singapore
a spiritual home.
As a matter of principle each baptized German speaking Catholic,
regardless of nationality, may belong to our community. Furthermore,
any interested person, irrespective of religious denomination, is invited
to take part in our various activities.
Besides the regular Sunday Mass and special Sunday Services for
children, we offer Catechism Classes to prepare for the Sacraments of
“Baptism”, “First Communion”, “Confirmation” and “Marriage”, Spiritual
counseling and guidance, sharing groups on the Bible and issues of
life and a wide range of different activities for children, adolescents
and adults. We give due consideration to our social responsibility and
organize various cultural events.
With our activities we aim at strengthening spiritual life and at
making the faith of our church accessible to all who are interested.
We facilitate social encounters, grow a sense of community and
strengthen solidarity with each other. We strive to enhance our
cultural heritage and life in order to contribute to the development of
a strong sense of identity in each individual. In our opinion, a sense
of personal identity is an important prerequisite for tolerance and
respect with regard to all other cultures and religions which we have
the chance to encounter here in Singapore.
