By St Joseph’s Cathedral Parish
KUCHING — St Joseph’s Cathedral will be having its Parish Family Day on Sunday, 29 September 2024 at the Cathedral compound starting from 7.30 am until 1.30 pm. This fundraising event (formerly known as the Parish Sales and Fair) has been organised annually since 2004 until 2019. After a 4-year hiatus resulting from the pandemic, we are reviving this annual event with the objectives of promoting fellowship, building community, and at the same time, raising RM400,000 in aid of the Operations and Maintenance Fund of the Archdiocesan Curia and Cathedral Pastoral Centre (A.C.C.P.C.).
The A.C.C.P.C. building which houses the Archbishop of Kuching’s Curia is located inside the Cathedral compound next to the traffic lights below the Sarawak Club. Since its blessing and official opening on 19 March 2013, a good number of events, activities and concerts have been hosted there. The St Joseph Grand Hall (Level 3) with a seating capacity of 700 and the Mater Domini Auditorium (Level 2) with 200 seating capacity, are available for booking not only for the Church’s lay organisations but also for groups outside the Church.
We will be having 77 stalls selling a wide variety of food and drinks, magic shows by Uncle Jerry de Clown, mini concerts by our Indonesian and Filipino community, fun activities and games for both young and old, a sushi chef foodtruck, and many more. A live band featuring our seminarians in attendance will provide entertainment and music throughout the event. There will be many attractions for children at Level 2 such as a shooting gallery, fishing ground, face painting, cupcake decorating, Sand Art, tattoo stickers and scratch art.
All are invited to come and enjoy a fun-filled Sunday with family and friends, and at the same time, support a worthy cause. There will be tables and chairs where you can relax and enjoy the festive atmosphere. Coupons at RM10 per piece or RM50 per booklet will be available at our coupon booths on site.
