KUCHING — St Peter’s Church, Padungan was delighted to have Archbishop Simon Poh celebrate and administer the Sacrament of Confirmation to 68 candidates at a special Mass on 6 November, 2022 at 10.00am.
In his homily, His Grace explained about the gifts of the Holy Spirit to the confirmands. He shared his own personal experience of how he was led by the Holy Spirit in an unexpected incident after a court hearing some four years ago.
He reminded the confirmands that they belong to Jesus Christ from the moment they were baptised in the Father’s house, and throughout their lives as they journey through their first Holy Communion, marriage, and on their final days on earth.
The candidates comprised 42 Sunday School children from St Peter’s Church, Padungan and 26 from both Sunday School and RCIA candidates from Chapel of Our Lady Star of the Sea, Bintawa.
His Grace appealed to past students, parents and parishioners to come forward to serve in the Sunday School and RCIA.
