A cook working at a timber camp won the first prize of the Sibu Jaya new St Michael’s Church coupon lucky draw, driving home a brand-new Perodua Viva 660.

An elated Murine ak Langit, 37, collected her prize today (4/4/13) from the Bishop of Sibu, Bishop Joseph Hii Teck Kwong at the Sacred Heart Cathedral compound here.

Murine,from Sibu Jaya, had bought four coupons, forking out RM20 for the RM5 apiece coupons, to help raise fund for the RM5 mil church, the earth-breaking ceremony of which is expected to be held soon.

“I bought the coupons with the intention to do my part to help in the fund raising project, not to win any prize,” she said.

A few days ago while at work, she received a miss call and a text message from home, telling her to call her older sister.

“The coupons were with my sister. I called her and she told me that I had won the first prize. It was such a wonderful surprise,” said Murine who works at Tubau KTS Camp, which is about five hours’ drive from here.

Also present to claim their prizes this afternoon were the second prize winner of a Honda 110cc motorcycle -Kho Lei Ing and Peter Teng who won a consolation prize of a rice cooker.

SIBU – The priestly ordination of Jesuit Fr Mark Aloysius is the bishop of Sibu’s first ordination after he became bishop.

This ‘eldest son’ of Bishop Joseph Hii is not to be based in the Diocese of Sibu but for the Jesuit community to serve the universal church.

The bishop said the church here after 27 years of becoming a diocese has reached a certain level of maturity to not just have ordination for the diocese itself but to serve the universal church as well.

“I would like very much to keep him here, but Mark has chosen to be a Jesuit so I am giving him to the universal church,” he said during the ordination liturgy on Jul 31.

“You ask me how it feels to be a father, first have to ask Lopez (father of Fr Mark),“ he said at the start of his homily.

Then, addressing Lopez, he added: “Today your son becomes my son.”

That, he went on, is the beauty of our church.

The bishop thanked Fr Mark for giving his life to the church and thanked his family for giving him to the church.

The ordination took place at St Mary’s Church where Fr Mark grew up in and served as an altar server, and on the Feast Day of St Ignatius Loyola, the founder of the Jesuits (Society of Jesus).

Fr Colin Tan, the Regional Superior of the Jesuit of the Malaysia – Singapore Region assisted Bishop Joseph Hii along with Bishop Emeritus Dominic Su and over 20 other con-celebrants in the packed church. Amongst them was Deacon Jesuit Alvin Ng who was to be ordained to the priesthood on Aug 3 in Kuching

Fr Mark, 33, is the youngest of three siblings.

He was doing Electronics Engineering at Multimedia University, Cyberjaya when his encounter with a Jesuit, then the chaplain in the university, gradually steered the course of his life in a different direction leading to his priestly ordination.

Fr Mark has a penchant for singing. He also writes songs and articles.

In the crowd at the ceremony were his brother Augustine Philip Aloysius, sister Audra Jane,  her husband Micha Sigloch, their children Sophia, Helena, Eva and Joshua, other relatives and friends.

Fr Mark’s first posting will be in Singapore.

SIBU – What you could ever hope for cannot be compared to what God has in store, Fr Thomas Connors will tell you that.

Never in his wildest dreams did this gentle soft-spoken Irishman think that he would end up living in a land where it is always summer and amongst the most friendly people on earth.

But for God, nothing is impossible and he delights in giving pleasant surprises to his children who trusts in Him.

God plucked young Thomas from cold Ireland, and deposited him in far-away Borneo, among the Melanaus of peaceful coastal Dalat, the nomadic Penans in the deepest reaches of interior Sarawak, to the diverse populace of the busling town of Sibu.

“As a schoolboy in cold Ireland, I dreamed of living in a far-away land where it was always summer,” said the now 76-year-old who will be celebrating his 50^th year as a Mill Hill missionary priest in July this year.

The Sacred Heart parish which he is currently serving as assistant priest is gearing up preparation to celebrate his Golden Ordination Jubilee with a Thanksgiving Mass at the Cathedral on 3.7.2013 at 5:30pm followed by Grand Dinner Reception at 7:15pm the same evening at Kingwood Hotel.

It is going to be a double celebration to also honor the 55th Ordination Jubilee & 80th Birthday of Rev. Father Ferdinand Vergeer, another long serving Mill Hill priest here.

Fr Connors has been serving the people in Sarawak for almost entirely all his priestly years, including 33 years in the interior and 13 years in Sibu division, which was also a dream come true for his mother Mary Kenny. His father Richard was a farmer and Fr Connors is the eldest of their four children.

He said, “At home my mother used to read parts of the missionary magazine, ‘The Far East’, to us and showed us pictures of missionary priests working in such far-away places. She would ask us whether we would like to work as missionaries in such places.”

One day at the end of his Primary 6 school year, a Mill Hill missionary priest visited his school and asked whether any of the boys would like to become missionaries in far-away lands.

“A few of my best friends, classmates, put up their hands, so I put up mine too. We were very excited.”

The priest visited their homes that afternoon.

“My parents were very happy, especially my mother who told him that she prayed at Mass every morning that one of her sons would become a priest.”

In that visit, everything was arranged for the boy to enter the Mill Hill Minor Seminary at the beginning of the new school year.

Back in school next day, the boy was shocked to discover that he was the only one accepted to enter the Seminary.

“It was heartbreaking to lose all my classmates, but the prospect of going to a far-away land where it was always summer helped to overcome that loss,” recalled Fr Connors.

After his priestly ordination at Mill Hill, London, on 7^th July 1963, Fr Connors was posted to Kuching Diocese in the Borneo half of Malaysia in Southeast Asia. The first two years he taught in a school in Dalat after which he spent a short period in Sarikei at the end of 1965.

Early in 1966 Fr Connors was appointed to the parish of Song, which then included Kapit and Belaga – “the most extensive parish in the Diocese of Kuching and more than half the size of Ireland,” he tells his folks back home.

“I was engaged in primary evangelisation and pastoral work among the many tribal groups in that vast area : the Ibans, Kayans, Kenyahs, Kejamans, Sekapans, Bukitans, Ukits and Punans, among others. I have most wonderful memories of my 33 years in that vast hinterland of Borneo for the next 33 years,” he said.

“I well remember the times when Bishop Anthony Lee from the next (Miri) diocese came over the mountains with his spirited Seminar teams to set our widespread Catholic communities on fire with the Charismatic Movement’s Life in the Spirit Seminars,” continued Fr Connors.

“I remember the several days of very difficult travelling into the far interior to reach the nomadic Penans.”

And he thought he had finally brought the Gospel to the ends of the earth.

“When I asked the headman of the farthest inland settlement what it felt like to live at the ends of the earth, I was quickly cut down to size when he let me know that we had just reached the centre of the world, not the end of the earth.”

There were many unforgettable events in his missionary life, including this episode of wild boar hunting.

Once on visiting a very large Kenyah settlement after a two-day journey up the Balleh River , all the menfolk had gone far into the jungle in search of expensive fragrant heartwood, Fr Connors reminisced. The women had to fend for themselves.

That evening all the young ladies held a meeting to divide into four hunting groups, about 15 to each group. They invited Fr Connors to join the wild boar hunt next day.

“I joined those going down river. Each lady held a spear with a sheathed sword tied round her waist. As we rounded a river bend a large number of wild boar out at the tip of a long stretch of gravel bed ready to swim to the opposite bank, bolted back as soon as they saw us. They just missed our boat as it ran onto the gravel bed.”

“The women and their many dogs shot from the boat after the wild boar with such speed that I was left sitting dumbfounded, mouth wide open. With the driver I followed the boar chase by boat down river guided by the jungle orchestra of yelping dogs, squealing wild boar and screaming Amazons for quite a distance.

“Finally we heard them cheering as their dogs surrounded a large number of boar. They speared 14 of them. My role in the boar chase was to help carry the boar carcasses back to the boat, leaving heavy boar heads and legs behind,”  he related, the memory still fresh in his mind.

Fr Connors was stationed at Kapit until 1999 when he was transferred to Sacred Heart Cathedral, Sibu. At the beginning of 1990, Song, Kapit and Belaga became separate parishes.

From there he did pastoral work in the Sekuau, Tamin and Selangau area, these places now made collectively into the separate parish of Selangau. He continues to work among the mixed communities of Sibu at Sacred Heart Cathedral and in longhouse communities in this area as well.

“After such experiences in the wilds of the interior, it was then a total sea-change to be transferred to town life at Sacred Heart Cathedral where I have been for the past 13 years,” he stated.

At first he felt like a fish out of water but now Fr Connors is at home in every home here.

“I take this golden opportunity to thank my Lord God for having saved me from the cruel Irish weather and placed me in the land of eternal summer among the most wonderful people on the face of the earth, whether it be the well-to-do Chinese here in Sibu or the nomadic Penans in the far interior.”

Fr Connors is filled with gratitude for the wonders his God has done in his life, in his own words “giving thanks for this amazing vocation which He has given to me and can never stop thanking Him for it.”

He exults: “Looking back over the last 50 years, I realize that in my wildest dreams I could never have imagined a more wonderful calling than this missionary life in Southeast Asia that the good Lord had planned out for me.

“He plucked me out from the tiny place where I was born and placed me in this beautiful land.”

Fr Connors considers it “my greatest privilege to have been allowed to serve all those peoples and help them along the road to Heaven.”

‘No eye has seen, no ear has heard, 

and no mind has imagined 

what God has prepared 

for those who love Him.‘ (1 Corinthians 2:9)

SIBU –  His ready availability, his optimism and good cheer has made an indelible impression on many a people.

His hearty “Come in!” and his jovial “Oh, I am always free!” to anyone asking for his time even when he can be very busy shows his trademark approachability.

Eighty years old he may be this year but the sprightly Fr Ferdinand Vergeer still carries himself with a ramrod military bearing. He still drives like he is in his 20s, maneuvering his way skillfully on his four-wheel drive along the sinking, patchy, bumpy roads of Sibu.

“I have no complaint healthwise. Several things are getting down and down,” he said, bending forward and his hand making a downward gesture, “but I am still quite mobile, I can walk, cycle and drive.”

Born in Holland on 15^th June 1933, Fr Vergeer is the 5^th in his family of 10 boys and one girl.

“Only a few hours after I saw the light of day, my father quickly got our horse and cart ready to bring me to the parish church for baptism, and they gave me the solemn name of Ferdinandus Antonius,” he said.

He said as a little boy, leaflets distributed in school about missionaries who had gone to far away countries to preach the Gospel, who lived and died among headhunters in that strange land called Sarawak fired his imagination and adventurism.

Already blessed with a prayerful Christian atmosphere at home, the young Ferdinand felt drawn to go for catechism classes in primary school three times a week.

“One fine day I went to the secondary school which was a Minor Seminary, to start the long road to the priesthood.”

Fr Vergeer was originally assigned to Sudan, Africa, after his ordination on 13 July 1958, but the visa was not forthcoming.

So he was given a new appointment to Sarawak!

After a month’s voyage at the end of Jan 1959, he arrived in Kuching to his first appointment in Serian and the interiors like Bunan, Tebedu, Gahat etc. He was later made headmaster of the mission school and after a stint to Bau and Song thereafter, Fr Vergeer went for a year’s pastoral diploma course in Manila in 1968. Upon returning he was appointed Rector of Dalat.

Wanting to put what he learned in Manila to full use, he trained catechists in Sarawak from 1971 – 1974 at the Marudi Catechetical Centre.

It was in 1974 that Fr Vergeer came to Sacred Heart Cathedral where he wasted no time in setting up the CCD (Confraternity of Christian Doctrine) to teach the faith and starting “Religious Instruction by Mail’ for  youths in other parishes.

Never one to rest on his laurels, Fr Vergeer also started 8-week courses for longhouse prayer leaders, in between visiting the longhouses (more than 100) in the difficult but beautiful terrain when he was assigned to Kanowit from 1978-1981.

Then it was back to Sibu until  1988. “The Charismatic Movement exploded with a bang, and set the whole diocese on fire for some years. Sorry to say, it went slowly down again.” This time also marked the making of the Sibu Diocese in 1986.

From Sibu, Fr Vergeer was sent once more to Kanowit as parish priest for some 17 years, then to Sarikei for a year, before getting posted back to Sibu in 2006 where he is currently based.

In the course of this half a century, Fr Vergeer has written three books, one of which is in  Iban – Mending Ka Tuhan (Listen to the Lord)– which is meditation on the Gospel of St Mark in 1996. This was followed by ‘A Hundred Holy Names’ –  prayer of a hundred names & titles of Jesus taken from the Bible; and the third, ‘Fruits From The Cross of Christ ‘– reasons for the death of Jesus.

Fully immersed in pastoral and catechetical work, Fr Vergeer quipped: “Like the priests here in Sarawak, I have my finger in many, too many pies”.

“As parish catechetical director, it gives me a good bit of work to impart the teaching of the Catholic faith. The other half of my time is spent in pastoral work, such as the liturgy here in the church,  hospital and prison visits and community Masses in homes.”

He finds fulfillment in all these works.

“While some people like to goyang kaki and  have an easy time, that is not my cup of tea. I am 100 percent happy, and I find it exciting and interesting to be priest.”

On concerns and challenges, the first thought that comes to mind is the ‘Allah’ issue. He also spoke of the lack of vocations to the priesthood, especially among the Ibans, saying that more should be done to promote vocations.

“I remember as  a boy, the priests used to come to our school and share with us the experience of their missionary work,” he said, also calling on parents to be more appreciative of the vocation instead of discouraging it.

He is also concerned about the many Ibans who settle down in the town but drift away from their faith.

What is most significant of what he has learned over the years?

He said: “One of them is I have learned to respect the lay people as being the church. There is the responsibility of the lay people. We, priests, tend to think ourselves as the clever ones. I learn more and more that they are the church. Therefore the laity shouldn’t ask everything from the rector or the bishop the things they can do themselves.”

Over the years, one of the things that struck him was “to let go and let God” instead of trying to do everything by yourself. My favourite word is ‘Emmanuel’ –God is with  us.”

What are his plans for the future?

“I will stay if the Lord is willing, for one or two years, depending on my health situation,” said Fr Vergeer who is always mindful of the many blessings in his life and thanking God for them unceasingly.

“ I am happy with my priestly life. Maybe this is also because we as priests haven’t got a family with all the family problems. We can give more time for all the people of God – commitment for the whole family of God.

“It is a happy life. I can certainly recommend it to the young people!”

There will be a Thanksgiving Mass at Sacred Heart Cathedral on the occasion of the 55th Ordination Jubilee & 80th Birthday of Rev. Father Ferdinand Vergeer cum The Golden Ordination Jubilee of Rev. Father Thomas Connors on 3 July 2013 at 5:30pm to be followed by a Grand Dinner Reception at 7:15pm the same evening at Kingwood Hotel.

«贯穿弥撒的圣经之旅／弥撒的圣经基础»

弥撒简介    |    课程一     |      课程二

你曾渴望能从弥撒中“得到更多吗？”

  对很多的天主教徒而言，弥撒或许在某种意义上来说，似乎是一件太熟悉不过的事了。我们在每一个星期日都会出现在教堂里，实行我们大多数人从小小年纪开始就已经知道的祈祷与弥撒礼仪。我们会在弥撒进行时站立、坐下以及跪下。我们也画十字圣号。我们背诵“圣、圣、圣”，“天主的羔羊”以及“感谢天主”。

     可是这些祷文与仪式到底是什么意思呢？我们可能对这些仪式已经了如指掌，但是我们真的明白我们在弥撒礼仪里所说所做的含义吗？

      圣经是揭开弥撒奥秘的一个关键。实际上圣经渗透了所有的弥撒经文和仪式。圣经章节的引用和提及可在整个礼仪中找到。而且，救恩史的最高峰—–耶稣的救恩之死—–以圣事的方式被呈现在弥撒中。因此，当我们越是知晓弥撒的圣经基础时， 我们就会越欣赏弥撒礼仪的璀璨，使我们准备好在每台弥撒中与耶稣相遇。

     在这课程里，我们将把弥撒的主要部分从头到尾的走过一遍—–从一开始的画十字圣号到结尾的“感谢天主”—–并在圣经背景的光照之下细想它们。沿着这条路，我们将发现很多美丽的属灵宝藏。对于弥撒中所用的祷文和礼仪程序，当我们将从圣经的中去了解它们时，提供了不少的灵感，鼓励，以及在基督徒生活上的实际帮助。我们也将会看到，弥撒里的祷文挑战我们去仔细检视我们的良心、为我们的罪忏悔、以及体验天主爱的怜悯。它们也提醒了我们，在我们的惧怕、考验和痛苦当中，天主是与我们同在的。它们可以启发我们以更大的爱去善度我们的婚姻生活，家庭生活，以及友谊关系，并且召唤我们把我们的生活更加的委顺于耶稣。

     最重要的是，这个“贯穿弥撒的圣经之旅”将帮助我们在礼仪内能与主有更深一层的相遇。藉着了解我们在弥撒中所说和所做的意义，我们将会更妥善的准备好，在礼仪里的每一个祷文和姿态里，把自己奉献给耶稣。

弥撒是什么？

     多认识弥撒，是非常值得我们去花时间和精力的。因为自从宗徒时代开始，弥撒就是基督徒崇拜的中心点。它是耶稣在最后晚餐中建立的圣体圣事。弥撒是如此的重要，以至梵蒂冈第二次大公会议把它称为是基督徒生活的“泉源和高峰”。一方面，我们的整个生命都导向弥撒，另一方面，我们可以从弥撒中找到我们在日常生活中所需要的属灵力量，指导和扶持。

     是什么使弥撒成为基督徒生活的核心呢？如果人们能明白圣体圣事中最重要三个面向，那么弥撒的美丽和德能将更受人们的赏识: 圣体圣事是一个祭祀，是耶稣真实的临在，也是一顿共融的聚餐。首先，在弥撒中，耶稣在十字架上的救赎牺牲，以圣事的方式呈现，使到它的救恩德能更完善地运用在我们的日常生活当中，  同时我们也能把自己与基督向天父的自我奉献连合在一起（参阅教理1366-1368条）。第二，在圣体圣事内我们与耶稣基督的真实临在相遇。圣体圣事不是耶稣的象征。在被祝圣的那一瞬间，饼和酒被转变成耶稣本身的身体、血、灵魂及天主性（参阅教理1374）。第三，我们的主不只为了亲近我们而亲临在弥撒的祭台上；当我们在领圣体时，祂甚至来居住在我们内。这圣体圣事的三个部分，将由伴随这个课程的两个资料：一个贯穿弥撒的圣经之旅书本，以及小组课程究读的DVD更完整的诠释。：

弥撒的综览

在我们还没有开始我们的旅程之前，先来一个简要的路线概观，是很有帮助的，它就是弥撒本身的大纲:  进堂仪式，圣道礼仪，圣祭礼仪，以及礼成仪式。

弥撒的两个主要部分是圣道礼仪和圣祭礼仪。这两个部分构成了整体的的崇拜活动。首先， 我们在天主圣言之桌，透过读经得到滋养，之后在我们祭台桌上，在领圣体中得到滋养。

这两个弥撒的中心部分被两个较微小的部分夹在中间：那就是进堂仪式与礼成仪式。进堂仪式开始了弥撒庆典，并准备信徒们在圣言中和圣体中与祂有一个神圣的相遇。领圣体后，礼成仪式正式的结束了弥撒庆典，并派遣人们去行善，且把基督带到世界里去。

以下的示意图为我们陈列出弥撒的四个主要部分， 是弥撒仪式中其他较小、个别部分的主干。把这个弥撒的“大蓝图”放在我们的脑海中，对开始我们课程之旅上， 有很大的帮助。
