Archdiocese of Kota Kinabalu: Pastoral Communique

May 17, 2020

Pastoral Communique

To all clergy, religious and laity of the Archdiocese,

Kindly be informed of the following:

1. For pastoral reasons, Ascension Day this year is to be celebrated on the weekend of May 23-24 to allow more participation in the live streamed  Mass.

2. Our Holy Father Pope Francis invites all nations in the world, irrespective of race or creed, to unite in prayer, fasting and almsgiving on May 14, 2020, to seek God’s power and mercy for a way out of the COVID-19 pandemic. In union with the Holy Father and to respond to his call, I invite all Catholics in this Archdiocese to say the rosary together as a family, fasting and giving alms to your needy neighbours on that day.

May God have mercy and bless us.

Archbishop John Wong
