SANDAKAN : Politeknik Sandakan located at the Sandakan Education Hub, Mile 10, Jalan Batang, officially opened on 12th May 2008 is some twenty minutes drive from Sandakan town. On 9th October 2014, some 34 students gathered for the first Catholic Students Gathering held at its campus.
The program commenced at 7.30 PM with a praise and worship session led by Fradely Amigo, a team member of the Sandakan Parish Youth Apostolate. Anna Teresa from the Diocesan Youth Office facilitated some team building games, a session to promote interaction.
The Catholic students, currently studying there are mostly not from Sandakan. By establishing networking / relationship, we hope that the students will not feel alone while studying in Sandakan. They are assured that the Diocesan / Parish Youth Apostolate will journey with them while in Sandakan. The Campus Ministry is there for the students. Through the relationship bond they will know who and where to turn to when the need arises. The students are encouraged to integrate well with the local church.
Being the first gathering, Anna took the opportunity to introduce Schoffal Charles Moiji and Sarah Liew of the Diocesan Youth Apostolate, serving in the Diocesan Campus Student Ministry. They were present to lend support to the Christian students and shall extend pastoral care to the students.
The team members will return on Thursday, 16th October 2014 to help them prepare spiritually for their upcoming exam.
