Tawau : The Pastoral Outreach/ Pastoral Care ministry of Holy Trinity Parish organized a fellowship lunch for the Senior Citizens on the 27.8.2011.
The program began with an opening prayer by our Parish Rector, Msgr. Nicholas Ong. Fr. David Garaman the Asst. Rector happily joined this event and this must be the first time for him to be together with the elderly of Holy Trinity Parish.

Attended by 70 mostly elderly women parishioners from the Filipino, Chinese and Indonesian communities, a few with their husbands, this yearly event showed that the spirit of togetherness among senior members of the church is strong and meaningful. For many of them, God and the church are now the center of their lives.

| Everyone is having a good time. |
The gathering provided them an opportunity to meet friends, share jokes and their life experiences.
