Happy Anniversary Fr. Fundes


Reverend Father Fundes Motiung (middle) was given a surprise cake in conjunction with his 11th anniversary as a Catholic Priest recently. The occasion was a thanksgiving reunion for 32 Sabahans who made a 2-week pilgrimage to Turkey from 29 May to 12 June. Fr. Fundes was the spiritual director for the pilgrimage which was made in conjunction with The Year of St Paul which ended last month. The social gathering was held at the residence of tour co-ordinator Linus Tokujip in Kinarut. Fr. Fundes was ordained on 6 July 1998 and is now the Rector of the Stella Maris in Tanjung Aru near Kota Kinabalu, the capital of Sabah in east Malaysia, otherwise known as Malaysian Borneo. Among those seen in the picture are Mrs Stella Tokujip (left), Sr. Rose Chew (on Fr.'s right) and Sr. Anna (on Fr.'s left).

Welcome home to you all pilgrims, and happy Anniversary to Rev. Fr. Fundes. In fact, I have already congratulated him the following Sunday morning at Stella Maris Church. We all pray for his good health so that he can shepherd his parishioners.

Thank you Gondohing. Since you have been to the Holy Land (Israel)you must make Turkey your next pilgrimage target. Let me assure you that it is more than worth it. It's an experience of a lifetime. You just have to be there, words can't describe. Now, as I read the Acts of the Apostles (esp. St Paul) and Revelation (esp. the 7 churches)again, the Bible comes alive. Praise be to God.
