KUCHING — The Holy Trinity Church, Kenyalang, witnessed a joyous occasion on 5 February 2023 with the installation of its new Rector, Fr Eugenio Gocela Maglasang (better known as Fr Eugene).
The morning started with a combined English and Chinese Mass at 7.30am, celebrated by Archbishop Simon Poh and concelebrated by Fr Patrick Heng, Fr Paul Ling, and Fr Ramon Borja.
The Church was full during the Mass, with many parishioners gathered to witness the installation of their new Rector. The Mass was also attended by several seminarians from St Peter’s College, who came to join in the celebration.
After the homily, the rite of installation for new rector took place with the handing over from Fr Joseph Liew to the newly installed Rector, Fr Eugene Maglasang, a missionary priest belonging to the Salesian Society of St John Bosco.
This was followed by a lunch reception at KTS Garden, where the community welcomed their new Rector and bid farewell to Fr Joseph Liew.
The installation of the new Rector marks a new chapter for the Holy Trinity Church, and the community looks forward to the leadership and guidance of Fr Eugene Maglasang.
We wish him all the best in his new role and thank Fr Joseph Liew for his dedicated service to Holy Trinity Church. – Today’s Catholic
