Malaysian Roman Catholic Bloggers Network
I will soon create a link aggregator page within this website called the Malaysian Roman Catholic Bloggers Network (MRCBN). The blogs do not necessarily have to be about Roman Catholicism or Christianity. As long as the blogger professes the faith, he is most welcomed to add his details in MRCBN. Bloggers are invited to send me an email with details of their blog names, url, name of parish church and location to be included in this list. I will also gladly add links of overseas bloggers who send me the same information. Links will not be arbitrarily added without the blogger’s consent.
This idea was born out of necessity on my part. When I first arrived in KL, I was looking for a church to attend Mass. There was little detail available on the Internet. Thanks to the information from Mystic and Adriene, I will be attending the 11:30am Mass this Sunday at Church of St. Francis Xavier in Petaling Jaya. The MRCBN can also serve as a launching point for Roman Catholics from all over Malaysia to forge fellowships via cyberspace.
Additionally, I welcome information on the location of Roman Catholic churches in Malaysia. This will be most helpful to those wishing to attend Mass or just visit the churches when they are in the neighbourhood. Please provide the name of the church, name of parish priest, address, telephone number and if possible, the Mass schedule. Please send all emails to mail@petertan.com. Alternatively, you can leave the details in the comment section of this entry. Likewise for the details of your blog. Thank you in advance. Peace be with you.
*Note: The Malaysian Catholic Bloggers Network page is at MyRCBlogNet.

Peter, can add me ah? I malas to email u lah…hehee
January 20th, 2005 at 17:03
Mystic,
Consider that done. Thanks.
January 20th, 2005 at 17:33
peter, and of course me too.
actually there is a catholic directory that shows the full details of all the churches in malaysia, including time of masses, but i guess it’s better to have them up online as not many people are aware of that directory. also being online, is easier to access when you are away from home (away from the directory which you keep at home!).
online links are also very updated (not forget personal).
so it’s a good idea, peter, and i support you fully!
January 20th, 2005 at 20:53
Lucia,
I will try to get a copy of the directory from the church office when I get back. I read from the KL Archdiocese website that the 2005 copy is available already.

Hi Peter. This is Victor who is also a Roman Catholic from Penang who goes to the Church of the Immaculate Conception. I’m now in KL to study and go to the CKK mass celebration in Petaling Jaya. SFX is too far and I can’t get there due to transportation problems.
Hopefully when I join this Network, I’d blog more on my faith. =)
Good to know that someone like you has the idea of setting up such a network. =)My email is victor.oh@gmail.com
God bless…
Brother in Christ,
Victor =)
January 21st, 2005 at 10:01
Victor,
Good to hear from you. Thank you for adding your blog to the list. Take care.
January 21st, 2005 at 22:41
quote victor: “Hopefully when I join this Network, I’d blog more on my faith.”
exactly! blog on our faith.
hi victor, glad to meet another catholic blogger. mind telling the url of your blog?
peter, don’t think that directory is available at your church office. can try ‘catholic information service’ (CIS) bookshop.
January 24th, 2005 at 17:26
Hi Lucia… looks like you don’t read the Penang Bloggers page…
I posted up a comment on your blog the other day. 
Well.. my page is http://dreamkid.blogspot.com
Great to know you and that we finally meet.
Your posts are always so good. Tell me how do you get so many hits?? What’s the formula????

Hi Peter, I’m Shu Li and I’m from Johor Bahru. Though I’m not being baptised as a Catholic, but I’ve been following the Catholic faith for the past 5 years. I’m attending mass at the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Johor Bahru and I occasionally attend the afternoon mass at the Cathedral of the Good Sheperd in Singapore (I’m working in Singapore). It’s nice of you to start up this kind of network where Catholics all over Malaysia can meet. This is rather interesting. However, I’m still trying to start an online blog. (I’m very busy at work!) Nice to visit your website!
February 5th, 2005 at 11:43
Shu Li,
I pray that you will be baptised in the very near future to be able to fully appreciate the beauty of the Eucharist. Peace be with you.
February 14th, 2005 at 12:57
Hi Peter, thanks a lot for your words of encouragement. Yes, I really do hope I can be baptised as a Catholic in the near future. I’ve been trying to be baptised for the past few years. However, I’ve met with a lot of family objections, especially my father and my grandparents. I’m still waiting patiently for this day to come. Actually, I’ve this little story about me & the Catholic faith (I’ll post it up some other day as I don’t have it with me now). This story relates my experiences and incidents all with my Catholic faith. Wishing all out there: Happy Chinese New Year!
February 15th, 2005 at 14:15
Shu Li,
I believe your family will eventually see things your way. Joining the Roman Catholic Church does not mean leaving your family behind. I would love to hear your story some day.
February 16th, 2005 at 12:00
Hi Peter, I promised to post my story online. So here is my story (it’s quite long though). Hope that you can give me your comments after you’ve read it.
My Story
I came to know the Catholic faith through my mother. She brought me to church since I was young, to Christmas parties and masses. She even enrolled me into Catechism classes when I was in Pri. 2. Sad to say, I stopped attending Catechism classes when I was in Pri. 6.
After Pri. 6, I was practically “cut-off” from the church for 4 whole years. I didn’t attend weekly masses nor did I attend any more Catechism classes. What I attended was only the Christmas mass yearly. It was only about 2-3 years ago did I really return to church-this was the turning point in my life.
Previously, I did not believe that by prayer, it could help me in my exams or tests. All I thought was that through hard work, I could score well. But I was wrong, I never did well previously. It was due to that I’d usually panic when I see the questions in the paper. One day, my mother gave me a rosary and told me, “Say your prayer before you sit for your paper!” At first, I did not want to believe her, but I was thinking, “Why not give it a try since there’s still quite some time before my paper starts” So I did. Miraculously, it was the first time I could go through the paper like a breeze. What’s more; it was that paper that made me the top student for the subject. Needless to say, I started this little ritual before all my papers for my exams or tests.
Yes, this lead me back to church once more. I started to go back to church to pray to ask God to guide me in my studies. Practically all my results were very good. I started to believe.
This was only one of the miracles that I experienced. I was being robbed about 2 years ago. I was very upset. On that night that I was robbed, I dreamt my rosary was given back to me. I thought it was just a dream, but a few days later, my bag was found and a kind man returned it to me. Till now, I can’t figure the meaning of the dream. It’s just a mystery, yet a miracle. I learnt to pray every night before I sleep. Because of my prayers, no one expected me to recover so quickly. In just a matter of days, I regained my own self
There are still many more small events or incidents that happened to me. I just can’t deny that God is somewhere above watching over me. On some nights, I will scream in my sleep, but I have no nightmare. I will wake up suddenly with my heart beating very fast. I’ve tried to go back to sleep, but I just couldn’t. So, I take out my rosary and say my prayers. Very soon, I will be back at sleep peacefully, with the rosary still clutching in my hands till the next morning.
There was once that I fell very sick and had a bad headache. All I wanted to do is to sleep, but my headache did not go away despite me taking my medication. I repeatedly say the Hail Mary in my head and soon, I fell into deep sleep. There was also once when I was about to fall sick, I was saying the prayers with my mother. Upon saying the prayers, I felt as if all my sickness was taken away from me and I was well.
Because I started my internship only 4 months ago, I was not used to the working life outside, especially in Singapore. I am staying in JB and I travel everyday to work in Singapore. It can be quite tiring sometimes and plus the stress in the office, I fall sick easily. For the first month or so, I was too tired to say my nightly prayers. I just fall asleep when I come home from work. My mother noticed my bible was left untouched for a very long time and she kept on pestering me to read my bible. Finally, I opened the bible after some time and resumed my prayers once again. After resuming my daily prayers, I realized that I do not fall sick easily anymore. I just can’t deny the fact that God is somewhere above watching over me.
In the office, there are so many things happening and so many evil temptations like gambling on 4D, strained relationships amongst co-workers. I do feel frustrated, sad and demoralized at times. I always keep praying and asking God to guide me in everything that I do in office. At times, my prayers seem answered. I feel so much better after praying.
Recently, I had two dreams. One was during Chinese New Year eve. I dreamt that my rosary was broken. I kept on saying that I can be fixed, but I know that it cannot be fixed because my rosary is not those that are strung by beads, but it is glued together one (the cheaper ones). I was shocked when I woke up. I tried asking people what that dream meant, but no one knows. Also, about 2 days later, I dreamt that I was wedded in a very elaborate Catholic wedding that lasted for quite a while. I woke up wondering what it could mean. Till now, I don’t know what these 2 dreams mean.
After all the experiences, it’s hard to run away from the fact that there’s some connection between me and the Catholic faith. I’ve found my way back to the church and I am sure that the Catholic faith is what I am in for. When the youth priest in my church told me that I was eligible for the RCIA, I was elated. But, there are other factors I’ve got to think of. My grandparents, my dad etc. After I attended the mass on one Saturday where I witnessed the children being baptised and are able to receive the Holy Communion, I thought, “Why am I enduring this painful journey when I am actually 2 persons spiritually? Why can’t I just be 1 person?” I recall having this dream once. A dream that I was talking to someone over the phone telling me that no one can actually make this type of choices for you. It’s all up to you to decide on it. The control lies in your hands.
There’s really nothing much I can do now. My parents still have the final say in the things that I do. I know that my family won’t really like it and I don’t want to have any more arguments with my family over this matter. All I can do now is to wait and continue praying. I really don’t know what lies ahead of me. But, there’s this dream and wish in my heart, a dream that I’ll become a Catholic someday. A wish and dream that I hope it will be fulfilled.
February 19th, 2005 at 20:04
Shu Li,
May your wish be fulfilled. Peace be with you.
March 11th, 2005 at 13:52

Hi Julius,
I’ve sent you an e-mail on the locations of the churches in JB and also on some other details. Please feel free to contact me if you need any help.
March 29th, 2005 at 18:05
Dear Peter and all who gave comments,
I am Moses residing in Seri Kembangan area. The area that I am in is under the parish of Holy Family Church in Kajang, Selangor.
I have just discovered your site through Mack Zulkifli’s linkage to here. Have read a few of your posting and view some of your other webpages. Will pay you some other future visit and write some more
In the mean time… I think it would be good to have an online directory of our churches. KL Archdiocese has a website (http://www.archway.org.my) with a fairly good information on parishes. However, some of the information is not the latest and updated. This was the last time that I checked. Perhaps by now it is more updated.
Does Penang Diocese has an website of its own? As far as I know Johor-Melaka does not have one. At least not that I am awared of.
It would be great for all the dioceses in Malasysia to have some form of online resources at the national-level to foster mutual understanding of our Malaysian church. This include Sabah and Sarawak.
I have the privilege to attend mass in a number of churches throughout Malaysia due to nature of my work. I find it an enriching experience to be able to participate in broader the church. The good thing about this is that I learn to be opened to different expression of the singing in the mass. The liturgy is of course universal. It is a humbling experience because in larger parishes, the singing is dynamic with various instruments, while in some “poorer” parishes, some time it seems boring but it make me realised the significant of the mass minus the trapping of riches.
Ok, I have shared too long for a first timer but may you continue to be blessed always even in the difficulties that you are experiencing.
Take care and God bless.
Moses Foo

Twotablet,
The Penang Diocese does not have a website. I agree that having one will be very beneficial for those looking for more information regarding the Roman Catholic Churches. Thank you also for sharing your experience in participating in Mass in the various churches.
May 3rd, 2005 at 23:27

Emmanuel,
Looking forward to it.
July 24th, 2005 at 16:34
I am in need of knowing the location of a Catholic Church somewhere in Johor Bahru. It is quite a small and old church, with its name consisting of perhaps ‘Sacred Heart’ and/or ‘Sherpherd’. Would appreciate it if you could help provide more information on this church.
Alternatively, can you provide us the list of Catholic Churches in JB in case there ain’t any churches which have the above-mentioned names.
Thanks a lot for your help. May God bless you.
July 25th, 2005 at 14:45
Hi
I must commend you for the great initiative in setting up the MRCBN. I can fully understand the frustration of oneself trying to locate a church or the time of masses in a new area.
The only Cathedral in Kuching is St Joseph’s Cathedral at Jalan Tun Abang Haji Openg. Time of masses are as follows:
Saturday
4.45pm Rosary
5.00pm Novena
6.00pm Sunset Mass (English)
Sunday
6.30am 1st Mass in English
8.00am 2nd Mass in Chinese
9.30am 3rd Mass in BM
5.30pm Evening Mass in English
Daily Mass is at 5.30pm.
Hope the above helps for those visiting Kuching.
Keep up the good work, Peter!
God Bless!
July 26th, 2005 at 14:27

I must have got mixed up but anyway you are doing a great job for our church in terms of interaction with old and young alike I and travel overseas often and it is a beautiful sight to see that the congregation attending mass is to the maximum especially in Norway where the catholic population is not that big and the majority are youngsters.Praise our Lord and Morher Mary for guiding us into the right path.God bless you…..Rupert

Hi Peter,
I’ve been searching for this Malaysian Roman Catholic Blogring for a long long time. I thought that Malaysian Catholics don’t blog at all. *sigh* But I really thank God that I found you and your site too!
I’ll drop you a mail anyway. Hope you’ll add me to your list too!
Thank you and God bless!

Hi All,
I suggest that you visit this website http://stpeterscollege.net
Fr. Nicholas Ong of Kota Kinabalu has his weekly homily in audio form
posted in this website. He speaks in English, Malay and Chinese(Hakka).
His Hakka is not very good but he is making an effort, You will find
his homilies loaded with powerful expressions and humour.

Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone would know if there’s a Roman catholic Church / Chapel in Genting Highlands? It would be nice to attend mass when I am there during weekends.
Thanks.

Hi Peter,
I’m Anne and I’m staying in Seri Kembangan, Selangor. I would like to start attending mass at any Roman Catholic Church nearest to my area of residence. Can anybody give me a list of Churches with their addresses and tel. no. around Seri Kembangan area, so that i can go to the one most convenient for me. I am aware that there is a Church in Kajang, but i don’t know the location or the way to get there. Thank you.

Thanks, Monita for the info on mass times at St Joseph’s, Kuching. Definitely, churches here are a little slow off the mark in hosting websites to aid travellers like myself to find info via the net. In Australia, you can get info from either a group website or individual church website.
Great job, people - keep it up!

Saturday Sunset Mass: 7.00pm (E)

Direction: Find yourself to PLUS highway. Exit the highway through Kajang toll and drive toward Kajang town. Arriving in Kajang, you should follow the road continuously pass through several traffic light before meeting Metro Hotel on your right. The church is behind Metro Hotel. Take a right turn at the traffic light after the hotel main entrance. For exact details, please try the phone number above.
An alternate for Seri Kembangan, would be Chapel of St.Anne locate within the University Putra of Malaysia (UPM). Mainly cater for the need of Catholic student studying in UPM by a priest from St Francis Xavier, Petaling Jaya. But you could find nearby resident attending here. Mass is Sat evening. I am unsure of the exact time. Try being there before 6pm. Please note, there will be no Mass during the varsity student holiday.
Direction to Chapel of St.Anne: Find yourself to PLUS highway. Take the UPM, Serdang exit. Immediately after toll gate, go straight at the traffic light. Next take the 1st left turn. Go straight ahead after the left turning for about approximately 1 km. You should find the Chapel on your left, near an entrance with guard house. It more like a stand-alone house when it’s vacant. (Besides PLUS, there is alternate route to UPM from Seri Kembangan)
