  • Myanmar 500 Years Jubilee - Jesuit Footsteps Through History
    Myanmar 500 years Jubilee - Jesuit Footsteps through History A sacred fever grips the streets of Yangon as thousands descend from yonder lands of Myanmar for the historic 500 years Jubilee of Christian presence. Kachins from the northern most dioceses have come in thousands. One group led by Our Joseph Aik Maung. They have occupied all empty spaces in and around the churches, halls, hindu temples . In a commendable show of Christian fellowship, the Yangon Catholics are feeding these thousands. The church proudly show cases its colourful mosaic of seven ethnic groups. Neither the war nor displacement deterred the Kachins from undertaking this long journey – crossing rivers and mountains and a journey that took nearly two full days. There is a riot of colors in the streets of Yangon. Christianity in its full unity and diversity proclaims its presence in thousands today. Traces of Christianity were found even before tenth century. Surprising these were from China, long suspected to be one of the early Christian settlement. Stable presence occurred with the arrival of Portuguese in the 16th Century. Dominicans, the Jesuits and the Augustinians selflessly devoted themselves to promoting Christianity. In later eras were to be filled by other Institutes: the Barnabites, the Oblates of the Virgin Mary, the Foreign Mission Society of Paris, PIME, the St. Columban Missionaries and the Missionaries of Our Lady of La Salette. The Catholic Church has written glorious pages in Burma, in the field of educational and social-promotional work, if we think only of the first Burmese alphabet prepared by the Barnabite, Mons. G.M.

  • In Honor of St. Ignatius of Loyola and the Ignatian Year
    JULY 2021 In Honor of St. Ignatius of Loyola and the Ignatian Year In this SPECIAL EDITION of the English Bulletin, we would like to share with you selected articles and references for deepening the Ignatian Year at your own pace and time. May they be means to God through St. Ignatius of Loyola, whose Feast we celebrate on July 31. We encourage the readers to use them for spiritual reading, personal reflection and prayer, and in the process be transformed and renewed gently by God. They are recommended for spiritual conversations and faith sharing in the various Ministries and Groups in the parish, so that together, we may all fix our gaze more on Christ and “see all things new in Him.” Indeed, we are blessed in belonging to a parish that bears the name of this great Saint and in being able to drink from the fountain of his charism and spirituality.
