KUCHING — As anticipated, thousands of Christians and their families filled Churches all over the country for Palm Sunday, Easter Triduum Mass and Service, and Easter Sunday Mass.
For many, it was a “sweet homecoming” after having to stay away for the most part of two years. At Blessed Sacrament Church, young families were seen with children tagging along, a scene absent for two years as the pandemic SOPs forbade children under the age of 12 to enter Church.
Blessed Sacrament Church Rector, Fr Patrick Heng disclosed that the congregations for the Holy Week celebrations at his parish from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday was over five thousand. His “loud message” to the community is, “Come back to the Lord. Come back to Mass,” a message echoed throughout all parishes by parish priests.
