Lay leaders, Parish Council hold dialogue to gel relationship
SERIAN: About 350 people comprising members of the Village Church Committees ( KGK) and the Basic Christian Communities ( BCC) under St Theresa’s Parish here held a dialogue with the Parish Council on Saturday aimed at fostering better relationship and understanding among parishioners.
Church Rector Rev Fr Paul Herry, Parish Council chairman Dennis Sung, vice chairman Anthony Taguk, chairman of Special Function Committee Dennis Edwin, Parish Council secretary Wilson Banyui and other members of Parish Council were also present.
In his speech, Fr Paul said he was happy to see that the leaders of the Parish lay organisations turned up for the dialogue to update themselves with the latest developments in the Archdiocese.
He expressed appreciation for the hard work of all those who had helped in one way or another to ensure smooth administration of the Parish.
Earlier, Sung told the participants that the dialogue was important to keep them informed on the activities and development in the parish apart from being a platform to foster closer rapport, gel friendship among the priests, lay leaders and parishioners in tandem with the “One Church, One Heart” goal.
Anthony Taguk who is also treasurer of the Pastoral Centre Fund briefed participants on the collections and uses of the fund as well as the Kuching Archdiocesan Pastoral Assembly ( Kapa) which involves the 12 rural parishes in the Kuching Archdiocese.
Participants were later treated to a fellowship lunch.
