Members of the Archdiocesan Pastoral Council Board, mostly from Kuching, made a 90 km journey to Lundu Saturday morning, 28th February 2009 for the board meeting.
Mr. Joseph Godeng and I started the journey at 7.30 from my home at 3rd Mile and had a quick breakfast at the Red Dragon Café at Kampung Sebuluh, a favorite stop among travelers.
Archbishop John Ha was full of praise for the Rector, Reverend Fr. John Chong and the Parish Council for their hospitality and generosity in hosting the meeting.
Earlier in his welcoming address, Reverend Fr. John Chong informed that Holy Spirit parish, instituted in August 2008, has a population of 5,000 to 7,000 Catholics.
At the meeting, Reverend Fr. Simon Poh, Chairman of the Commission for Mission & Evangelisation informed that the Commission, in its effort to promote stewardship, has printed 1000 Eco-friendly bags for sale.
The Eco friendly bags can be used for shopping for grocery or files. Each bag aims to promote ecological consciousness by reducing the use of plastic bags and promote recycling. The bag has a distinctive Christian design that allows each Catholic user to witness to God the Creator Father who makes this beautiful world.
The bag is sold at RM 8.00 only. Get one for yourself this coming Sunday at your respective parish. (Pictures courtesy of Friar Joseph Lee OFM, St. Ann)
