Two months after the Independence of then Malay, a young French from Missions Etrangeres De Paris (MEP) arrived in Kuala Lumpur to start his life-long missionary works which would span over 57 years.
Fr. Peter Bretaudeau was then a 26 years old priest who was ordained on April 2, 1956 in his home town parish at Le Poire Sur Vie, North of France.
He served under 3 Archbishops, transvered across the Archdiocese of Kuala Lumpur for more than 57 years, with the last two and a half years being the residence priest in the Church of the Holy Family, Kajang.
He was officially retired last night in a farewell dinner held at the Holy Family Church Hall, attended by 2 Archbishops, many priests and religious, and about 900 parishioners.
He is a great missionary dedicated his whole life to the church and people.
Thank you Fr. Peter.

当年的马来亚正式独立后的两个月，一位年轻的法国巴黎外方传教修会的神父，抵达了吉隆坡，开展了他一生的传教使命。
伯铎神父（Fr. Peter Bretaudeau）当时只有26岁。他刚在一年半前，于法国北部的家乡晋铎，成为一名外方传教士。
在吉隆坡总教区超过57年中，伯铎神父经历了三位总主教的管理，到过许多堂区服务，而最后的两年半，则是加影圣家堂的驻堂神父。
昨晚（25-5-2014），在一项堂区主办的感谢与欢送的晚宴中，他正式的退休，告老还乡。他将在12/6/2014 归返到巴黎的总修院，开始他的退休生活。
出席宴会的有两位荣幸总主教、多位神父、修女及约九百名教友。
他是一位伟大的传教士，把一生都奉献给了天主及祂的子民。
谢谢你伯铎神父。

看到神父年轻时的照片,再看他退休的影片,我有要哭的感觉,神父一生为主服务,时间一晃就过去了。名符其实:少小离家老大回,来时是一个青少年,回去时已老态龙总。时间真是过得好快。
岁月不留人，每个人都会到黄昏岁月的时候，但我们必须要提早准备及面对。
