KUCHING — The Archdiocese of Kuching held its 30th Archdiocesan Pastoral Council (APC) Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Saturday, 25 September 2021, via Zoom. It recorded a full attendance of all new APC/ PPC members, with most of the parish rectors also present (49 attendees).
The AGM commenced with an opening prayer, followed with the APC Chairperson Christina Eng’s welcome remarks and communication from APC President, Archbishop Simon Poh.
After the confirmation of Minutes of the 29th APC AGM and the presentation of Annual Reports from Heads of Commissions/Committees and Treasurer’s Report, the meeting centred on the Roadmap to Kuching Archdiocesan Pastoral Assembly 2.0 (KAPA 2.0) and the Pan Malaysia Pastoral Convention (PMPC) 2026. An infographic plan was revealed by Fr Patrick Heng, who has been tasked to head the projects.
The dissolution of the 2018-2021 Board Membership paved the way for the Election/Appointment of new Board Members for 2021-2024. The current pandemic had necessitated the appointment by consultation of the APC Executive Board, and appointment by consultation/election of PPC members.
Christina Eng has been reappointed Chairperson of the Council together with her previous Board except David Disam, who replaces Remus Chabang as Vice-Chairperson.
Each Parish Council nominated two (2) parish councillors, while the chairpersons of Commissions and Committees of the Council were appointed by the Archbishop.
