Thought for May
There are different gifts but the same Spirit; there are different ministries but the same Lord; there are different works but the same God who accomplishes all of them in every one. To each person the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. - I Cor 12: 4-7

St Simon Likas Elevated To Full Parish
PENAMPANG (CS) - In a circular dated March 27 addressed to Msgr Primus Jouil, Vicar General and Rector of Sacred Heart Cathedral and its subparishes of St Simon Likas and Church of Mary Immaculate Bukit Padang, Bishop John Lee informed him that St Simon Subparish would be elevated to a full parish with effect from May 1. Below is the full text.
Dear Msgr Primus,
Re: St Simon's Church Likas
I wish to refer to the recent meeting of the Consultors on the above matter.
It is always a joy for us to see that our people in certain locality have grown both in number and in faith, so much so that they are able to form their own community.
It is with such joy that, with effect from 1 May 2008, St Simon's Church, Likas, will be independent from Sacred Heart Cathedral Parish. It will be a community on its own, with a priest in charge.
Please see to it that the pastoral transition is done smoothly. Thank you.
Yours in Christ,
Bishop John Lee

St Simon's Chapel was erected as a subparish of Sacred Heart Cathedral on 14 Nov 1984 by the late Bishop Simon Fung. On 19 Nov 2000 it was raised to a church by Bishop John Lee.
