BUKIT MERTAJAM: Worldwide Marriage Encounter (WWME) of Penang organised a fundraising dinner and dance February 23 at Dewan St Anne. The dinner was organised to raise funds for the WWME Asian Convention 2020 which will be held in Kuala Lumpur this year.

The event began with Mass celebrated by Fr Edmund Woon, with Msgr Aloysius Tan con-celebrating and Deacon Lazarus assisting. During the Mass, couples renewed their Marriage Vows. After the Mass, the congregation adjourned across the road to the hall.

The theme for the evening was Love is in the Air and the ambience was in line with the theme. A total of 350 people attended this dinner. They were Marriage Encounter (ME) couples and well-wish ers. A bus load of ME couples came specially from Ipoh for this event, as well as other couples from Kuala Lumpur, Sungai Petani and Alor Setar. The present and past WWME Penang State couples were also invited.

The guests were served a Chinese dinner and entertained by performances, lucky draws and dancing.

A mock cheque amounting to RM11,888 was presented by the current WWME Penang State Ecclesial Team, made up of Fr Edmund Woon and Martin & Rose Kang, to the WWME National Couple, and Monica Chew, as part of the state’s contribution towards organising the convention.

Besides that, the 38th anniversary of WWME in Penang was celebrated with a cake-cutting ceremony.
