More than 90 Catholics received the Sacrament of Confirmation from Archbishop John Ha at Teng Bekap on Sunday, November 8, 2009. Friar Gerard Victor OFM, the Rector of St Ann’ Parish concelebrated the Mass.
Ringing loud and clear was the message from Friar Gerard to the village church committees to connect with the youths and utilise their talents in serving the various ministries at the village level. Likewise, he called the recipients of the Sacrament of Confirmation to serve in whatever capacity at their village chapels. In this way, they can deepen their faith and learn to cooperate for the good of the community.
Earlier in his homily, Archbishop John Ha congratulated the recipients and told them to give their all to God, like the poor widow who gave two small coins, all that she possessed into the treasury. Service to our neighbours, our community is the way to live our life. He prayed that the recipients would witness Christ in their life.
Mr. Anthony Aton, in his welcoming address thanked Archbishop John Ha, Friar Gerard and all who have contributed in one way or another to make the event a success.
Fellowship meal concluded the function.
