Memorial prayer service for our Priests

The Ministry of the Poor (MOP) from the Church of the Holy Family (HFK) organised a memorial prayer service on Saturday, March 24 for the souls of all the priests (some of whom were former parish priests of HFK) buried in Kajang Catholic Cemetery.

There are currently 10 priests laid to rest in the Kajang Catholic Cemetery, namely: Frs Philip So (former parish priest), Leo Chang (former parish priest), Anthony Chan (former parish priest), Leonard John, Andrew Volle, Antoine Henriot (former parish priest and founder of MOP), Philips Muthu, Peter Kim SJ, Msgr Anthony Thomas and Edward Soosay.

The event kicked off with the members of MOP attending the 7.00am Mass (which was offered specifically for the departed souls of the priests) celebrated by parish priest Fr Surain Durai Raj and visiting Myanmar priest Fr Robert. Thereafter, the members as well as parishioners adjourned for a small fellowship before going to the cemetery for the memorial prayer service.

This is an annual Lenten project initiated in 2017. This is the second consecutive year that the prayer service is being held.
