“Be the light and salt to the world …”

KOTA KINABALU – “Be the light and salt to the world…”  This is the crux of His Grace Archbishop John Wong’s message to the Assembly of Catholic Lawyers, comprising of members of the Bench and the Bar, at the 3rd Annual Celebration of the “Red Mass” which took place Feb 15, 2014 at St Simon Church Likas.

Fr Coogan celebrates 90th birthday

IMG_6581KOTA KINABALU – Father Brian Coogan is back this time round, to celebrate his 90th birthday at the encouragement of his old boys on Feb 6, 2014.  Beloved of his students who have been tirelessly working to bring him back at any opportune moment, he has yet to disappoint them to their delight.

He guided me through my mother.  I owe it to my mother, whose simple faith and commitment to bring her children to faith that God sees fit today to reward her in my ordination to the presbyterate.

IMG_7518opEver since I could remember from a young age, the attraction to the priesthood has always been there.

But I thought God’s call would be something spectacular, like those in the Scriptures.  I was naively waiting for it.  Will it come in a dream, or an apparition, or a vision?  I was in fact blindly looking for my own sign to confirm that God was really calling.

How much more spectacular could that sign be when over and over again it was right there before my eyes were it not for my blindness!
