Installation of parish priest in Teluk Intan
27 April 2008

TELUK INTAN: The parishioners of the Church of St. Anthony, Teluk Intan, welcomed their new Parish Priest, Fr Francis Andrew on April 13, Vocation Sunday.

Bishop Antony Selvanayagam was the main celebrant of the Mass, concelebrated by Fr Francis Andrew and the present parish priest, Fr Vincent Paul. During his homily, Bishop Selva urged the congregation to follow Christ, the Good Shepherd. He said that, in all our celebrations, and when we celebrate feasts of saints and parish feasts, etc.. the main focus must be on Christ, the Good Shepherd. Christ is the ultimate goal of our Christian living, and all celebrations would be meaningless if they do not lead us to the “gateway of the fold.” Bishop Selva also stressed on the importance of family life. Families, he said, are where vocations are nurtured from seeds planted by the good examples of parents. Read More
