A Day With Nature: Celebrating the Jubilee Year of St. Francis of Assisi | 16 May 2026
In conjunction with the Jubilee Year of St. Francis of Assisi, the Archdiocesan Creation Justice Ministry organized a joyful outdoor excursion for 19 special children from the Persatuan Kanak-Kanak Istimewa Hulu Langat.
Held at the Perdana Botanical Garden, the outing was filled with moments of joy, friendship, laughter, exercise, boat rides, music, and appreciation for the beauty of God’s creation. For many of the children, it was their very first visit to the Lake Gardens.
The pleasant weather allowed everyone to enjoy the peaceful surroundings, observe the ducks swimming in the lake, and experience the serenity of nature together. The celebration also coincided with Teachers Day in Malaysia, where warm greetings and appreciation were shared with teachers and caregivers present.
One of the highlights of the day was the arrival of a cheerful mascot, which brought much excitement as meals were distributed and the children eagerly interacted with the beloved “Chipmunk” character.
The outing became a meaningful expression of the spirit of St. Francis of Assisi — fostering joy, simplicity, friendship, and care for creation, while creating beautiful memories for everyone present.
