Mini Pilgrimage

Today David and I were accompanied by 8 lovely ladies to visit St. Paul the Hermit Church in Bestari Jaya ( Batang Berjuntai ) Selangor as part of our Lenten project by our Section 6 BEC of Assumption Church Petaling Jaya. We left PJ at 8.30am and took a slow drive through small towns and lovely countryside and we arrived at the church at 9.45am. We were met by the Parish Priest Fr. Edwin Paul and a few parishoners and were treated to a small tea. Fr. Edwin gave us a tour and shared with us the history of the church and the patron saint. We were also made aware of the poverty of the people living around the area and how Fr is reaching out to them. The members of the BEC gave the church a small donation to help out with the outreach projects of the church. Fr gave us a blessing before we made our way to Kuala Selangor for lunch. Had a lovely seafood lunch at Pasir Panampang and we made our way back to PJ. A very succesful and fruitful visit by the BEC that has left us with the drive to do more for people who live in the outskirts of the city.
