Fiesta Señor Santo Niño de Cebu
(Feast of Santo Nino De Cebu)
Feast of Santo Nino De Cebu has become global. Where there is a Filipino - particularly Cebuano, Sto. Nino de Cebu is present! The Filipinos maintain their devotion to the Sto. Nino because through Sto. Nino they are reminded of their ethnic heritage - their history, culture & religiosity. They are just ordinary Christians living outside their homeland and they are now the ones articulating this faith experience not the Augustinians through the image of the Sto Nino.

Thick haze caused by forest clearing fires in Indonesia.
Most of the haze is from across the border of Indonesia. 4/5 of the Indonesian
portion of Borneo was “under a cloud of smoke”. The haze is so thick that at
least two satellites have been unable to detect hotspots.

DONATION APPEAL FOR SANDAKAN DIOCESAN
PASTORAL CUM WORSHIP CENTRE
AND
3 STOREY MULTIFUNCTIONAL BUILDING FOR
HOLY TRINITY CHURCH, TAWAU
Shalom, Peace of the Risen Christ be with you Dear Brothers' and Sisters'
We are please to inform you that the Diocese of Sandakan is now in the process
of constructing a three-storey Diocesan Pastoral cum Worship Centre at the
former St Mary's Convent Primary School site, Jalan Puncak within the St Mary's
Cathedral compound, Sandakan. The Centre, once completed will be the secretariat
tending to pastoral needs of the faithful and all administrative matters in the
'four parishes' under it's jurisdiction. Total cost RM3.5 millions.
AND
Our Tawau Parish Pastoral Council has discerned through prayers that the 3
storey multifunctional building is no longer an option but an urgent necessity.
Considering the following factors:
A) The existing infrastructure have been for a long time inadequate to cope with
the increasing needs of the Parish
B) The growth in our Community of Faith among the different language groups have
created an urgent need to provide more rooms for meetings, seminars, catechesis,
retreats and many other Parish activities.
C) Our Parish being the main Parish in the district of Tawau should increase and
upgrade her existing amenities to facilitate not just for Parish but also
Diocesan level functions. Total cost RM1.6 millions
Hence, our parish's 3 storey multifunctional building is under construction.
As our four Parishes journey together as one Diocese, we thank you for your
generosity
'Under His control all the different parts of the body fit together, and the
whole body is held together by every joint with which it is provided. So when
each separate part works as it should, the whole body grows and builds itself up
through love' Eph4:16

Palm Sunday

Palm Sunday
Palm Sunday (Passion Sunday) is a Christian festival commemorating Jesus’
entrance into Jerusalem.
It is customary in many countries to celebrate Palm Sunday with a special mass
before the blessing of palm leaves, or in some other countries, olive branches.
The blessing usually takes place outside the church which also includes the
reading of the Gospel that tells of how Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey
and how people greeted him with palms leaves.
After the blessing, followers march into the church waving the blessed palm
leaves and branches.
Most of the foreign Catholics are migrant workers from Timor. In Tawau town,
half the Catholics are Indonesians. In rural areas and plantations, 90 percent
Catholics are migrants workers.
The rural communities are served by the parish’s 27 outstation chapels.
