The Church of St. Philip turns 100 next year. The soft launch of the parish’s approaching centenary celebration was celebrated on the Patron Saint’s feast day, May 3.
Segamat was the first town to receive a visit by a foreign missionary, Fr Jules Francois, MEP. His visit to the quaint town proved fruitful as he found the people receptive to the Gospel, and with the first 300 converts, he bought a house and set up the Church of St Philip in 1924. The choice of name for the church, that of one of the 12 Apostles, is significant as St Philip was known for his closeness to Jesus and his ability to bring others to Him.
Fr Andrew’s homily highlighted the importance of nurturing an intimate relationship with Jesus, just as St Philip did. St Philip's example of bonding well with Jesus and pointing Him out to others, as well as his empathy towards the community, serves as an inspiration to all Christians.
