Gotong Royong 2016 Today!

In preparation for our 66th Anniversary/ Parish Feast Day on 7th October next week, a hundred over parishioners got together after Friday mass to clean up the church and its premises. Organized by the Parish Pastoral Council under the leadership of Chairman, Gerard Yeo, the participants were divided into small groups to facilitate the gotong royong. All who participated were treated to a lunch of 'nasi bungkus' and dukus for desert. A big thank you to all who volunteered their services to make our Church of Our Lady of Fatima of the Holy Rosary beautiful!
