PPA 牧民大会

After a holiday, I usually find myself in a "withdrawal" condition - lazy and feeling tired. However, we have to drag ourselves on this Sunday morning to attend the Parish Pastoral Assembly (PPA) starting with a morning Mass at 8:15 am.

The Assembly started at 10:45 am with reports and reviews followed by individual language groups discussion. We have about 300 participants from four languages attended this assembly.

In line with the PMPC III, the pastoral focus of the parish for year 2009 is on " a systematic review of our strucftures, strategies and plans."

The Parish Priest, Rev. Fr. William Michael presented the Vision and Mission statement of the parish:

Our Vision: To become a community of faith, service and love rooted in God's word.

Our Mission : To build a Christian Community to be aware of its roles in BEC and Ministry.

Archbishop Murphy Pakiam attended the Assembly.


在度假过后，通常我都会有一种我称为 “假期断瘾” 症候，会觉得懒散，疲倦。但是，今天一早，我们得起来，参加早上八时十五分的弥撒，及过后在十时四十五分举行的堂区牧民大会。

大会的进行方式没大改变，都是以报告和检讨开始，过后是各语言组进行各自的讨论。大约有三百名来自四语言的教友参加这大会。

根据第三届半岛牧民大会的结论，堂区 2009 年的牧民焦点是“对我们堂区的结构，策略及计划，作一个系统的检讨。”

堂区主任威廉神父呈献了堂区的愿景和使命宣言:

愿景：成为一个建基在天主圣言，服务和爱的信仰团体。

使命：建立一个对基基团及事工角色醒觉的基督团体。

吉隆坡巴吉安总主教全程参与了大会，并在结束时，给参加者降福。
