The Catholic Church in Malaysia launched the official website of its social action arm, Caritas Malaysia, and its latest annual report on Sunday, Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
“The annual report is like a family album, and like any family album it will help us to get to know other family members, their respective situations, efforts and needs,” said Bishop Bernard Paul, president of the organization, in a letter introducing the report to LiCAS.news
The prelate said the journey of the Malaysian Church and its commitment to the social mission “can be traced back to the early missionaries” and to the establishment of the Catholic welfare service offices in Sabah, Sarawak and Semenanjung.
“We pray that will eventually become ‘our’ family story – a chronicle of our shared heritage, which we can share widely with all, with joy,” wrote Bishop Paul.
Caritas Malaysia is the official arm of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Malaysia. It engages in works of charity, relief, integral human development, care for creation and social services.
It was established last year following the unanimous decision of the country’s Catholic bishops during its meeting in January 2020.
