I was in Sibu, Sarawak for the 90th birthday celebrations of Rev. Fr. Thomas Taam from 18/2 to 20/2.
He came from Xin Hui district, Guangdong Province of China. It is world renowned for its dry lemon peel (chen pi) and kui fan.
He was ordained a priest in 1954 after much difficulties and sufferings during his priestly formation years, including Japanese occupation and China Communist persecution.
His niece, nephew, niece-in-law and grand nephew came from his hometown to join this celebrations.
The birthday celebrations was divided into two parts:
1. Thanksgiving Mass on 18/2/2013 (Click to see pictures in Facebook)
2. 200-table Grand dinner on 19/2/2013 (Click to see pictures in Facebook)
It was a celebration befitting to an great missionary and faithful priest who spent his lifetime serving the Church and people.
My Sibu trip basically consisted eating, eating, eating and more eating ...
It was a great celebration !
我在18/2 到 20/2 去了砂劳越的诗巫一趟，参加谭泽荣神父的 90岁生日大庆。
谭神父来自广东省的新会区。新会以盛产葵扇及高品质陈皮，举世闻名。
谭神父于1954年在香港晋铎后，就来到了当时的婆罗洲砂劳越的诗巫市服务，一直到今。
他的外甥，外甥女，外甥媳妇及外甥孙四人，从乡下千里迢迢的来到诗巫，参与这大圣事。
生日庆典分成两部分：
1. 感恩弥撒 18/2 （点击观看 Facebook 照片）
2. 200桌生日盛宴 19/2 (点击观看 Facebook照片)
这是一个盛大的庆典，配称的上这一位终究一生，为主，为教会及人们服务的伟大神父。
我在诗巫，基本上就是吃，吃，吃，吃了又吃。。。。
这就是欢庆了！
