甄選禮



(山打根訊)山打根堂於四旬期第一主日的華文彌撒中為二十位望教友舉行了甄選禮,此儀式由羅志康神父主持。這群分別來自瑪莉主教座堂和馬爾谷堂的望教友將在來臨的復活節前夕領受教會的入門事。神父也勉勵教友們要全心依賴上主的恩寵,好好準備自己以參與主的逾越奧跡。

山打根堂區之華文聖灰瞻禮彌撒



山打根華裔教友217日晚上七時三十分在聖若瑟堂參與以華語為媒介語的聖灰瞻禮彌撒,主祭為回鄉歡渡春節的黃士交神父。


黃神父在講道中說:領灰是悔改的標記。在四旬期間,天主給予我們機會悔改、更新,因為化我們。聖教會也藉此時刻提醒我們,我們來自灰土,將來也要歸於灰土,因此我們要回頭改過,信從福音。在這四十天的信德旅途中,我們要多祈禱,堅強我們的信德,也要常施愛德,幫助有需要的人。


講道過後,教友們井然有序的領受這 悔改的標記。

賀嵗不忘敬老







2月21日大年初八,主日華文彌撒后,聖瑪莉堂聖心普愛會聯合婦女組於堂區食堂,為長者準備了熱騰騰的新春早茶,羅志康神父也同來與長者歡聚一堂致以新春問候!神父欣慰普愛與婦女同仁賀嵗不忘敬老的精神,期望年輕一代增強敬老尊老的意識,傳承此傳統美德。早餐后,羅神父將满載紅包的紅包箱送到眾長者前,讓長者親手抽取紅包中的大紅包,當天的幸運長者陳燕萍抽中了幸運大紅包興奮地向大家搖晃,引來一片歡呼聲!

新春弥撒





(山打根訊)由山打根教區JULIUS GITOM主教主祭,堂區司鐸Fr. Thomas Makajil及羅志康神父共祭的庚寅年新春彌撒,在2010年2月14日早上七時正,於山打根聖瑪莉主教座堂舉行。

在外留學或工作的遊子們都及時回來參與新年彌撒,聖堂裡充斥著:“好久不見了,你好嗎?”之類的問候語,教友們的衣著更是鮮艷,一眼望去多是紅彤彤一片,紅色、桃紅、金色,聖堂內洋溢著喜氣洋洋。

彌撒前有擊鼓迎賓,強勁的鼓聲猶如今年的生肖代表---虎,充滿力量及沖勁。

教友們都響應上主的號召,“增產報教會”,孩童人數比往年增加,實在值得慶賀。其他語文組的教友也參與其盛,與華裔教友們一起在充滿喜慶歡樂的殿堂裡向天主表達敬意。

彌撒結束前,JULIUS主教祝聖年柑、團拜,派發紅包予孩童及青少年。主教、Fr. Thomas Makajil及羅志康神父也分別向華裔教友們致意感謝。

禮成詠後,教友除了在聖堂門口向主教及神父拜年外,也互相祝賀恭喜。萬和醒獅團受邀在聖堂外舞獅助興,精湛的“舞藝”讓教友們驚嘆不已。
