In the talks by Archbishop Ha, he continued to bring up the centrality of the Word of God in our lives, our baptismal dignity as beloved children of the Father, and the transformation of the Apostles, from their initial reluctance and denial of Jesus towards becoming ultimately martyrs and heralds of his Good News, fueled by the correct understanding of Christ.
During the closing Mass, Archbishop Ha expressed his joy at this gathering and mentioned that there is a promising future for the Bishops’ Conference seeing that all the seminarians mingled and fraternised very well together. After the retreat, the Singaporean priests and seminarians continued their annual holiday around the Archdiocese of Kuching, spending a night at Gethsemane Pilgrimage Center, Bunan, and several other Churches. They also had a kampung experience at the longhouse at Kampong Mongkos.
Joseph D’Cruz who is undergoing his regency and only joined for the holiday, said that although the interaction was brief for him, it was heartening and to hear the same passion and love each seminarian had for their own diocese.
