Shirley & Deacon Alfred...

The Vicar giving a speech..he has known Deacon Alfred when Deacon was only 3 yrs old staying with his uncle,the late Bishop Basil at Bishop's House,Kuching. So it seems,Deacon Alfred has had a very early exposure to what he wants to do..to what he is now.

Mr. Joseph Fam,mentua Fr. Stanley & Victor Lee,still making the peace sign.

...unlike last night where only the 'Levites' were seen attending the pre-Ordination dinner for the newly ordained priest,Fr. Alfred Damu,this morning not only the 'Levites' came but also the 'Pharisees',the 'Samaritans' & the 'Gentiles' came for the Priestly Ordination. (I was borrowing words from the Lord Bishop's speech ) The service was very well attended followed by a light refreshment provided by the MWF.

You are now ordained priest.....

Yes, Deacon Alfre Damu Bulang is officially ordained a priest. You may now call him Revd Fr. Alfred Damu. Here,the Lord Bishop & invited priests including Fr. Nelson Ugas, Fr. Stanley,Fr. Rundi,Fr. Ramden & the Vicar praying over Fr. Alfred.
