PENANG: In conjunction with the 204th Police Day celebrations, 20 police personnel from Georgetown headed by Insp Augustine Unggam attended the 8.30am Sunday Mass on March 13 at the Church of the Risen Christ, in full uniform.
Parish priest Fr Maiccal Sinappan was the main celebrant. The first reading was proclaimed by Sarjan Mejar Francis Xavier Anthony. Mass collection and the offertory were done by the police personnel.
After Mass they mingled with the congregation and handed out pamphlets containing information on how to combat crime and whom to contact. This was the first time such an activity has taken place in the Church of the Risen Christ, said Insp Augustine. “This was part of the high profile policing where the police can earn the trust of the public, which in turn brings about cooperation between the police and public in combating crime together,” he added.
Fr Maiccal Sinappan thanked the police team, prayed for them and the force. He hoped more of this high profile policing would be done in future, and extended his invitation to the police to attend Mass whenever they could.
The parishioners who attended were pleasantly surprised to see so many police in the church and were happy such an initiative has been taken by the Royal Malaysian Police force. Two police volunteer reserves Henry and Marie said they were very honoured to attend the Mass with the regulars and to do their part in securing peace for the public. — By Francis Xavier Anthony
