Theme:   LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOURS

The haunting face of a frail little child and the pleading face of an old woman stare out of the posters and  the question ‘Love your neighbour… if you don’t, who will?’ flashed out in the centre.  This set the tone for the Penang Diocesan Lenten Campaign 2010.

 

For the year of 2010, the Penang Diocesan Lenten Campaign (PDLC) committee decided to choose a theme that people can easily relate to – a popular phrase in the Bible – ‘Love your neighbor’.

 

The Lenten Campaign is aimed at touching the lives of the less fortunate with

gifts from the heart in the form of donations, contributions and even services. These people are your neighbors – if you don’t help them, who will?

 

The PDLC committee has come out with materials for the Love Squad Team (a team based in the parish, mobilise during Lent Season to promote the Lenten Campaign) to be used during Lent.

 

There are posters, banners and flyers in 3 languages.  The flyer contain information on how the funds from the 2009 Penang Diocesan Lenten Campaign was spent and names (with full details) of some of the human development projects funded by the PDLC 2009 funds e.g. the Lighthouse and the Migrant Ministry.

 

Other materials for the Lenten Campaign are button badges and T-shirts. The black and white t-shirts will be on sale to parishioners while the red t-shirts are for the Love Squad. Finally, of course the Lenten Campaign envelopes for the donations in cash/cheque.
