KOTA KINABALU – His Grace Archbishop John Wong has agreed to ordain and raise Deacon Wilson Francis to the Order of the Presbyterate. The details of the ordination Mass are as follows:
Date: 25 October 2021, Monday
Time: 10.00 am
Venue: St Pius X Church, Bundu Tuhan
Due to the limit on the number of persons allowed at any celebration as set out in the ongoing SOP procedure, the above Mass will be by invitation and will not be open to the public.
The public may follow the live-streaming of the Mass, details of which will be announced.
Let us continue to uphold Deacon Wilson in prayer as he prepares for priestly ministry. Pope Francis says at the ordination of nine deacons to the priesthood on Good Shepherd Sunday this year that in becoming priests “you will be like Him; a shepherd. This is not a career, but a service.”
