One historical moment for the community in Kg Sampun was 25th April 2009, when 22 RCIA candidates were baptized and 5 Anglicans were received into the Catholic Church. There was an air of festivity for the 27 new members as they were accompanied during the ceremony by choir members from the Carmelite Chapel and members of the Iban Apostolate from St Ann Parish. The congregation sang their hearts out and showed our unity as one Body of Christ.
After the celebration, there was sumptuous meal prepared by some of the parishioners and everyone ate to their hearts’ content. This celebration truly showed the spirit of being one and supporting each other as Church. Our new Catholics would have benefited from the presence and witness shown by the veteran members of the Catholic Church.
However the celebrations did not end with the meal but continued with another historical moment which was the blessing of the site for the new Chapel named after “Our Lady of the Assumption.”
May our Lady as patroness continue to guide and be with the people in Kg Sampun.
