KOTA PADAWAN-On Saturday, the 12th of May, the Catholic community in Taman Boulderbuilt, Jalan Batu Kitang, and the adjacent resettlement village, Kampung Dangak, celebrated the feast of its patron, St Dymphna, with the presence of Friar Joseph Goh OFM, Srs Antointte Sinin and Anna Juwin SSFS and assistant catechist Mr John Harry Dan. The celebration began with the blessing of 9 homes at Kampung Dangak. This was followed by a feastday Mass celebrated at the home of one of the community members, which drew a crowd of more than 100 people of the village. The village does not have a chapel at present. At the end of the Mass, the Chairman of the Catholic community of St Dymphna, Mr Sylvester Mesekin, exhorted the community to support the activities of St Ann's Parish, chiefly the construction of the new St Ann's Complex. The celebration continued with a cake cutting ceremony and a potluck dinner.
