SINGAPORE (OSV News) — As the church marks the World Day of Grandparents and the Elderly July 27, meet 88-year-old Andrew Goh—a scooter-riding catechist in Singapore who has spent 34 years bringing the faith to the elderly and housebound and has helped more than 2,000 people enter the church.
Goh speaks English, Mandarin, the Chinese dialects of Hokkien, Teochew, Cantonese and Hainanese, as well as Peranakan.
Goh comes from a Hokkien-Peranakan background, which makes speaking certain Chinese dialects easy for him.
He currently teaches catechism weekly at the Church of the Holy Family and the Church of St. Alphonsus, called the Novena Church.
He now has a few assistants helping him in his weekly classes but he acknowledges that help can be hard to come by.
