After the funeral of Fr. Leo Chang, everyone was exhausted, more so for our Parish Priest Fr. William. He has to oversee all the arrangement for the funeral, right from choosing the coffin, selecting the burial plot, liturgy, logistic for big turnout of priests, applying Police permit for funeral procession.....
The leaders were also busy putting plan into action..... all because we wanted to give Rev. Fr. Leo Chang a grand farewell!
Yes, it was the grand and befitting farewell for a priest who has offered his entire life for the service of the people. He deserved it.
The Requiem Mass was celebrated by His Grace, Archbishop Murphy Pakiam and 45 priests, 5 Deacons. Many Religious Brothers and Sisters and about 2000 parishioners from far and near parishes that Fr. Leo Chang has served attended the celebrations.
After the Mass, Archbishop led the priests and people walked in procession from the church to the Catholic Cemetery a Kilometer away.
It was a beautiful and emotional farewell.

在葬礼过后，每个人都筋疲力尽，本堂威廉神父更是如此。他要监督整个葬礼的各项安排，包括选择棺木，墓地准备，礼仪，参礼神父的各项安排，申请游行准证等。
堂区领袖也同样的忙着依计划行事。。。因为我们都要给已亡的张神父一个隆重的告别！
是的，对一个把一生都奉献为人民服务的神父来说，这葬礼确实是相称的。这是他应得的！
殡葬弥撒由巴吉安总主教主祭，45 位神父，5位执事共祭。许多修女及修士，及约有2000名来自本堂，及张神父曾服务过的远近堂区教友，共同参礼。
弥撒过后，总主教带领神父及参礼者步行到约一公里外的天主教坟场，举行葬礼。
这是一个完美及动人的告别礼。
