60 attend liturgy of sending forth, rite of commitment

KOTA KINABALU – Around 60 people attended the liturgy of sending forth at the Blessed Sacrament Chapel, Sacred Heart Cathedral here on 16 May 2018.

Father Paul Lo presided at the Eucharist with the rite of commitment of four members of the Association of the Pauline Cooperators and three of their collaborators.

The liturgy of sending forth was in preparation of the seven to attend the worldwide gathering of the Pauline Cooperators in Rome May 18-26 as they close the centenary of the association.

In the rite, the seven promised to go to Rome not as tourists but as pilgrims.

The association was founded by Blessed James Alberione in Italy in 1917.  The lay members live in communion with members of the Pauline Family, using prayer, gifts and talents for evangelisation.

After the Mass, all adjourned to the parish canteen for a fellowship meal.
