Julita, SOCCOM Tawau

L-R : Fr David, Sr Rusiah fsic, Msgr Nicholas Ong, Sr Tauria fsic and Fr Johnny

Tawau : We, as baptised Catholics are called to holiness through a relationship with God. Some people receive a call to live their baptism through religious life. Consecrated women dedicate their entire lives to God and the Church through the public profession of the vows of chastity, poverty and obedience. 

In every age there have been men and women who, obedient to the Father's call and to the prompting of the Spirit, have chosen this special way of following Christ, in order to devote themselves to him with an "undivided" heart (cf. 1 Cor 7:34), ~ Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation Vita Consecrata of the Holy Father John Paul ll.

Sr. M. Tauria Taurin fsic

After having served  Holy Trinity Parish for some six years, Sr Tauria fsic has recently been  transferred to the Diocese of Keningau. She is assigned  to St. James, an outstation in Apin Apin, Keningau.

Sr. M. Tauria Taurin fsic, a humble, friendly but firm in her belief and a helpful servant of God was actively involved in quite a number of  spiritual and communal activities. Beside being appointed as the Spiritual Adviser for the Parish Christian Family Life Ministry for Holy Trinity Tawau, she was also involved  in the Catechetical ministry. She also taught in Holy Trinity Kindergarten.
