BATTAMBANG, Cambodia. Last 27 May 2012, thirty five (35) brothers and sisters in the Apostolic Prefecture of Battambang came to Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Parish to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation from Msgr. Kike on the Feast of the Pentecost. Assisting the Bishop in the mass were Fr. Totet, Fr. Sophal, and Fr. Manoj.
"Today is a day given to us to follow Jesus Christ, and learn more about God." Msgr. Kike said during his sermon. He exhorted everyone to pray, reconcile and be inclusive, join in the communal activities like masses, and do personal missions. "We are happy to receive the 35 people who have shown their faith. Our community grows more and more.” He added. Those who undertook the Sacrament came from 6 parishes under the Prefecture; Battambang - 13, Chrap Viel - 2, Khnach Romeas - 3, Ta Om - 5, Poipet - 7, Svay Sisophon - 5.
During the mass, young children danced the Holy, Holy, and the Our Father as part of the liturgical celebration. This happy feast celebrated the commitment of our brothers in their faith, the gift of the a Holy Spirit in our lives, and the mission we do to announce God's loving presence in the world.
Many thanks to Ms. Srey Mao of the Oscar Romero Pastoral Center and all catechists for the beautiful liturgy!
