Rejoicing in Our Parish Community! With grateful hearts, we celebrate and congratulate our two parish seminarians, Brother Vincent Suseh and Brother John Robertson, who have officially been instituted into the Ministry of the Acolyte! We also extend our congratulations to Brother Alvin Lucas from St. Anne’s, Port Klang, who shares in this important milestone. This is a significant step in their journey of formation towards the priesthood. Let us accompany all three with our prayers as they continue to discern and respond to God’s call. What is the Ministry of the Acolyte? Rooted in the ancient traditions of the Church, the Ministry of the Acolyte is a special instituted ministry of service at the altar, assisting the priest and deacon in the celebration of the liturgy. 🕊️ Service at the Altar Acolytes assist during liturgical celebrations by preparing the altar and sacred vessels, and may be entrusted to distribute Holy Communion as extraordinary ministers when needed. 🕯️ Carrying the Light They may carry the cross and candles during processions, symbolising Christ, the Light of the World. ❤️ A Deeper Love for the Eucharist More than a liturgical role, this ministry calls them to deepen their love for the Eucharist and embrace a life of humble, self-giving service, both at the altar and within the wider community. As a parish community, let us continue to pray for Brothers Vincent, John and Alvin. May the Lord strengthen them in faith, guide them in their formation and prepare their hearts for the vocation to which He calls them. May their journey inspire us all to listen more attentively to God’s call and serve Him generously. Let us also pray for an increase in holy vocations to the priesthood and religious life.

All Souls’ Day A day to remember and pray for all the faithful departed - especially those who are forgotten, those who have no one to pray for them, and those whose names may no longer be remembered. As we gather for the Blessing of Graves, may our prayers and presence be an act of love and remembrance. We entrust every soul to God’s mercy, believing that no one is ever forgotten by Him. May the graves blessed be a reminder of the hope of the Resurrection and the promise of eternal life.
The Feast of St. Jude comes to a close, the lowering of the feast flag marks the end of our celebration. Yet, our faith, our prayers and our journey with Christ continue beyond the feast. We gathered to burn the intentions entrusted to St. Jude. The burning is a symbol of surrender - placing our worries, hopes, struggles and petitions into the hands of God and trusting in His love and His will. Through the intercession of St. Jude, we bring these intentions before God, remembering that God alone is the source of grace and the one who answers our prayers. As the intentions are consumed by the fire, may we also learn to let go, to trust, and to say: “Lord, these are the things we carry in our hearts. We place them in Your hands. May Your will be done.” The feast may end, but our hope in Christ continues.
✨ “The Flag May Be Lowered, But Our Faith and Devotion Remain Forever Raised.” Today, 28 October, we joyfully celebrate the actual Feast Day of St. Jude Thaddeus, bringing our Feast of St. Jude 2026 celebrations at the Church of St. Jude, Rawang to a beautiful and meaningful conclusion. ❤️ From the raising of the flag to nine days of Novena prayers, the grand procession, and today’s final celebration, every moment has been a testament to the faith, love and devotion of our parish community and the countless pilgrims who journeyed with us. As the Feast Flag was solemnly lowered, it marked not merely the closing of our celebrations, but a reminder that the spirit of St. Jude continues to live within our hearts. With grateful hearts, we thank every priest, parishioner, pilgrim, volunteer, ministry and generous soul who contributed to making this year’s feast a truly blessed and memorable celebration. May St. Jude’s faithful witness continue to inspire us to place our hope in Christ, remain steadfast through life’s challenges and carry His love wherever we go. 🙏 St. Jude Thaddeus, Apostle of Christ and Patron Saint of Hope, pray for us! Until we gather again, may our faith remain strong and our hope never fade. ❤️ VIVA ST. JUDE!
