SRI AMAN — On 5 October 2024, an Altar Servers Recollection was held at Our Lady Queen of Peace Church, Sri Aman.
This recollection brought together altar servers from five zones under the Sri Aman Parish: Mount Hosanna Chapel, Holy Family Church in Betong, St Ignatius’ Church in Saratok, St Michael’s Church at Kaong Ulu, and St Anthony’s Church at Skrang.
More than 30 altar servers attended the event, including 15 members from the Church Youth Ministry (CYM) of Betong, Saratok, and Sri Aman.
Bro John Deho was invited as a guest speaker, and delivered an inspiring talk on the importance of dedication, humility, and service in the ministry. His words motivated the participants to continue serving with a strong sense of purpose.
The recollection culminated in a Holy Mass celebrated by Fr Henry Jimbey, where five participants had the opportunity to serve at the altar, guided by two experienced altar servers from Our Lady Queen of Peace Church.
In his homily, Fr Henry expressed his gratitude to the altar servers and encouraged them to deepen their faith and commitment to their roles.
The recollection was a success, leaving participants spiritually renewed and more equipped for their roles. The event highlighted the unity and cooperation among the various churches in the Sri Aman parish, providing a solid foundation for future collaborations.
