Announcements

Brothers and Sisters in Christ!

Peace!

Pentecost is over and we are returning to Ordinary Time. A word of thanks to you all who have helped in managing attendance during the Confirmation Mass. Thank you so much. For Ordinary Time, we begin with the Sunday of the Blessed Trinity followed by Corpus Christi.

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Peace of Christ!

We are by no means quiet. A few events are lined up for the coming weeks. The first event is on 18th May at 5 pm. This is both an announcement and also an appeal. Please note that there will be NO Novena before Mass on that Saturday. It has been cancelled as most of St James’ Hall will be cordoned off for the 5 pm Mass. The simple reason is that the entire Hall will be reserved for the families of the confirmands. Those who have no children attending catechism are encouraged to attend the 7 pm Mass which will be a bilingual celebration.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Peace!

Some have asked why provide the possibility of baptism by immersion. According to Canon Law, the Sacrament of Baptism can be done either through immersion or through pouring.

The legal language that describes the celebration of the sacrament actually indicates that the preferred mode of baptism by the Church is through immersion even though Catholics tend to associate immersion as a “Protestant” preference. 

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

We continue to live the Easter experience through a pilgrimage that takes us to North and Central Johore. My Cathedral, my home is also my family. Thus we shall journey spiritually as the Cathedral family. We travel and pray together so that we can grow closer as one family. The pilgrimage is timely so that we may take ownership of our belonging in this spiritual family. We will have many opportunities to be brothers and sisters to each other.
