Myleene Klass, the former church organist and member of the band Hear’Say, shared memories of her Sunday rituals growing up as a Filipino Catholic. According to Klass, her family was very involved in church activities, with her mum as a reader, her brother as an altar boy, and her sister in the choir. She fondly remembers playing the organ for hymns, particularly enjoying carols like O Come, All Ye Faithful.
However, Klass was fired from her church organist position at the age of 16 for dropping a sweet between the keys during a service. Despite this experience, she still appreciates the sense of community and tradition that Sundays bring.
Nowadays, Klass describes her family as “fallen Catholics” and spends Sundays enjoying quality time with her kids who are involved in various activities. They have an open door policy for friends and family from different cultures, enjoying massive roasts or barbecues prepared by her partner.
While Klass admits to not being a great cook, she excels at making rice, a skill she picked up as an Asian girl. On Sunday evenings, she makes sure to connect with her children by watching a box set together, like Stranger Things.
Klass has recently partnered with Bupa to promote young people’s mental health, highlighting the importance of taking care of one’s well-being in today’s fast-paced world.
