CDM hold Food and Funfair to raise funds for Learning Centre

The Food & Fun Fair Day at the Church of Divine Mercy (CDM) was held on Sept 1 with the theme #JomENJOY.

People from other parishes, many non-Catholics and well-wishers, came to participate in the Fun Fair.

The games stalls started off with people being offered a chance to dunk the parish priest, Fr Martin Arlando. The children were entertained by a clown and other games. Entertainment was provided by Ronald Vic DeLeon (Pianomaniac) and Friends, which included our very own young musicians at CDM.

Older people had a chance to have a head and shoulders massage carried out by a couple who decided to help out at this fair at the invitation of their Catholic neighbours.

The #JomENJOY Food & Fun Fair brought out the best display of community spirit and fellowship among the ministries and parishioners at CDM. The event also brought together peoples of various other faiths and different cultural backgrounds and made everyone more aware of the rich diversity found in Penang.

Fr Pawel Boguslaw from Korea remarked that he had never seen such a spirit of cooperation even in Korea. Twelve less privileged families were sponsored to join in the fair, together with children and residents from 12 orphanages and homes.

The target of this fundraising event is for the building of our new Community Hall and Free Learning Centre for everyone, irrespective of religion and status. We have only another RM 9 million to go.
