Ecological Spirituality and Ecological Leadership Formation 🌿

On Saturday, 24 May 2026, 71 participants from the Negeri Sembilan district gathered at the Church of the Visitation for a formation session on Ecological Spirituality and Ecological Leadership.

The session focused on the theme of Ecological Conversion and the importance of caring for creation, inspired by Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato Si’. Participants reflected on practical and meaningful ways individuals and parish communities can take responsibility in protecting and nurturing the environment.

The gathering also provided an opportunity for participants to exchange ideas, share parish initiatives, and explore ways of collaboration in promoting ecological awareness and stewardship.

As a symbolic gesture of commitment to care for creation, Fr. Andrew Manickam and Fr. Xavier Andrew planted a tree at the conclusion of the session, reminding all that even small acts can contribute meaningfully towards caring for our common home.

The day was filled with learning, fellowship, sharing, and joyful interaction among participants.

The Archdiocesan Creation Justice Ministry extends its appreciation to the parish Creation Justice Ministry and wishes them every blessing in their stewardship journey.

Pentecost Sunday | The Birthday of the Church

Pentecost Sunday was celebrated joyfully at the Church of Our Lady of Fatima as the parish welcomed a meaningful milestone in the faith journey of the newly baptized Catholics of the parish.

During the 10:30 AM Mass, the Neophytes were commissioned by Fr. Andrew Manickam, formally marking the conclusion of their RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) journey and their sending forth as active members of the Church.

In a special moment during the rite, the congregation was also invited to renew its commitment to accompany and encourage the newly baptized in living out their faith and mission within the parish community.

The commissioning reminds us that Pentecost is not only the celebration of the birth of the Church, but also a call for every Christian to become witnesses of the Gospel through prayer, service, charity, and daily living.

May the Holy Spirit continue to guide and strengthen our Neophytes as they grow in faith and serve as missionary disciples in the Church and the world.

60th World Day of Social Communications & Teachers Day | 17 May 2026

The Church celebrated the 60th World Day of Social Communications under the theme, “Preserving Human Voices and Faces.”

In his message for this year’s observance, Pope Leo XIV reflected on the responsibility of ensuring that technological developments, especially artificial intelligence, always uphold the dignity of the human person and strengthen authentic human relationships.

The Holy Father emphasized the importance of human communication rooted in truth, compassion, and genuine encounter, reminding the faithful that technology should serve humanity and not replace it.

During the weekend Masses at the Church of Our Lady of Fatima, a special blessing was offered for those serving in Mass Media Ministry, journalism, and communications-related fields.

The parish also took the opportunity to remember and appreciate teachers in conjunction with Teachers Day celebrated in Malaysia on 16 May. Gratitude was expressed to all educators for their dedication, sacrifices, and commitment in shaping lives and nurturing future generations.

May God continue to bless and guide all who serve through communication, education, and the sharing of truth and knowledge.

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.

Reflecting on the readings of the day, he reminded the faithful of the importance of remaining close to the Cross and keeping Christ at the centre of our lives.

Fr. Simon also expressed his heartfelt appreciation for the warmth, kindness, and hospitality extended to him by Fr. Andrew and the parishioners during his time at the Church of Our Lady of Fatima.
