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.
