OFFICIAL OPENING OF HOLY FAMILY CHAPEL IN BETONG

A small delegation of parishoners and two friars drove up to Betong to witness the official opening and blessing of the Holy Family chapel in Betong.

The journey began on Friday afternoon and the group stayed over at Our Lady of Peace parish for the night, under the generous hospitality of Fr Patrick Heng.

Next morning we set out for Betong and arrived at the chapel and was told to be aware of the slippery road leading to the Betong Chapel. Fortunately, we arrived safely at the chapel and joined in the celebrations. The other friar who arrived at the scene, in the morning, was Friar Joseph Lee. He was picked up in the early hours of the morning so as to be on time for the ceremony.

Deacon William Lee was part of the delegation that arrived one day earlier and this trip was his first to Sri Aman. He played his role as a deacon by assisting Bishop John Ha during the ceremony.

After the mass we made our way back to St Ann Parish and it was quite an experience for all of us to be there and witness the official opening and blessing of the Holy Family Chapel in Betong.
