| Ozanam Drop-in Centre launched in Sg Siput | 11:57 AM, Oct 05 2007 |
|
23 September 2007 SUNGAI SIPUT: The Ozanam Drop-in Centre was recently launched with a blessing ceremony by Fr Anthony Pillai, Parish Priest of St John the Baptist Church. The opening of the Drop-in Centre was the culmination of a long-cherished dream of the Society of St Vincent de Paul (SSVP), Conference of Sungai Siput. Through studies and their years of service in this area, members of the Conference had identified poor and needy single mothers and their children as a neglected group requiring help and support. General society often equates single mothers with women and girls who become pregnant out of wedlock. This is a narrow and incorrect perception as the definition also covers women who are widows, divorcees, aunts and even grandmothers caring for their abandoned grandchildren. Read More |

3 July issue of The Herald. CHEMOR: The Chapel of St Anthony in Chemor, just 10 km from Ipoh, is a shining example of the Father’s Heart of God and His parental faithfulness to his children. This tiny chapel which is encompassed by a Chinese temple and a mosque nearby is little known and hidden away from the main road of Chemor. Yet it has survived for so many years despite being neglected and almost left by the wayside, due to a lack of priests to attend to the pastoral needs of the small Catholic community comprising about 40 families, who are mainly Chinese and Indians.
