Seminarian Philip Asirvalam with the altar servers from the Church of St Jude and the Chapel of St Michael, Batu Arang.The Church of St Jude’s Lenten journey was marked by various activities and sessions organised by parish priest, Fr Vincent Thomas, the Parish Coordinating Council and the Formation Team.
One of the sessions was by Bro Philip Asirwalam, a third-year Theology Formation student, who spoke about the process of encountering Christ during Lent. He spoke in both English and Tamil. He focused on the Samaritan woman at the well, as it was Jesus’ last public appearance before His Passion and Death. It signifies our final preparations in re-enacting and reliving Jesus’ Passion, Death and Resurrection before Holy Week.
Bro Philip also conducted a half-day session for the altar servers from the parish and the chapel of St Michael, Batu Arang. He spoke about the importance of the Holy Eucharist and the various parts of the Mass, providing an in-depth explanation of the various actions performed by the priest and their Scriptural and outward meanings.
Bishop Peter Abir Antonisamy of Sultanpet Diocese in Tamil Nadu gave a talk on St Paul, highlighting his participation, communion, and mission. He encouraged parishioners to learn from St Paul’s example and become missionaries by teaching about Jesus through their actions, words, and examples. The bishop emphasised the importance of persevering in the face of difficulties and sharing the Word of God with others.
The Lenten journey continued with Zones, BECs, and different ministries coming together on different days to walk the 14 Stations of the Cross and culminated with the celebration of Palm Sunday. The parishioners’ Lenten journey was a time for reflection, renewal, and preparation for Holy Week.
