They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Acts 2: 42-45

2. Thank you Fr Anthony Heng, CDD
I would like to extend my thanks to Fr Anthony Heng, CDD for his invaluable service as the Administrator of St Michael’s Church in Ipoh, a role he held until September 30.

4. Second Session of 16th General Assembly of the Synod
As we approach the Second Session of the XVI General Assembly of the Synod, taking place from October 2 to 27, I invite you to join me in prayer during this significant time for our Church. The Synod of Bishops is a privileged time of community discernment that is fostered by prayer and begins with each person’s readiness to listen to what the Holy Spirit is saying to the Church. Over the next four weeks, our pastors, accompanied by a congruent number of witnesses of the synod process, will work intensively trying to listen to the voice of the Spirit in order to offer Pope Francis their suggestions on how to be a synodal Church in mission.
