Sunday with the kids

Mission accomplished

It was raining on that day. So the deal could not be done. It was meant to avoid any last minute rush. Anyway, the it was the weather......so an agreement was sought and the model agreed upon. I went back on the 08-07-09 and got the thing done.

The feed back was good.........

Indah Traffic Light

For those new in town, just take note that JPJ has installed a camera at the Indah traffic light junction. Anybody caught on camera hitting the red light.... well you know the fine........ its RM300 only. JPJ will be hoping to key in all the offenses before the next round of road tax renewal.

I also took some photos of Kathleen and Esther who were kind enough to pose for us. Photos were taken on the 05-07-2009 after an evening drive.

Launching The Social Communication Commission

The 4th July 2009 marked an important date for the Diocese of Sandakan.

The meeting fixed 15-08-2009, 8.00am for preparation for Assumption day. There was also discussion about team building games held during the recent BBQ. Members were also briefed about the New Year for the Priesthood as recently declared by the Pope.

There was also a briefing on the dangers of smoking and the harm caused to one's health. Members were also very keen to find out whether they can add their names to the t shirts given to them.

The Cathedral Parish of St. Mary's Sandakan Sunday School English section held their family day today from 8.30am to 10.30am. It was a "pot luck" time with family and friends bringing various dishes. Everyone had a good time and family members joined the kids in their games. The backdrop was nicely decorated late last night for the event.

PILGRIMAGE TO ST. PAUL

On the 20-06-2009, the Knights participated in the pilgrimage to St. Paul Church Ulu Dusun. After getting up very early and breakfast in the Sibuga Market, we arrived at St. Paul's at around 10am. It was a trip planned more than a month ago. The Parish Pastoral Council of St. Mary's was the other group that also went for the pilgrimage. After Mass, there was a fellowship held at the Parish Hall. Here we have a group photo taken at the Sanctuary of the Church.

All who participated were issued with a Certificate. The Knights were dressed in their new green t-shirts and served Mass during the Eucharistic Celebration.

Group report. Very amusing

Very happy group. In all sizes
