Celebrating the Parish Feast in Kulim, Kedah

by Mariaselvam (PDCC Core Team – Catechism)

 The parish community of the Sacred Heart Church, Kulim came together in deep faith and joyful fellowship to celebrate the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in June 2026. The evening began with a solemn outdoor Blessed Sacrament procession through the streets of Kulim. Hundreds of parishioners followed reverently with candles in hand, singing hymns and offering prayers for peace and renewal. Beneath a flower-adorned canopy, the radiant monstrance symbolized Christ’s love shining upon the town—a moving reminder that His Heart burns with mercy and compassion for all.

After the procession, the faithful gathered in the church for the Feast Day Mass, celebrated with heartfelt devotion. The liturgy reflected the theme of the Sacred Heart—God’s boundless love and mercy. In the homily, the congregation was encouraged to live out this love in their daily lives: reaching out to those in need, nurturing unity within families, and strengthening the bonds within the parish. The celebration concluded with a fellowship dinner in the parish hall, where laughter and warm conversation filled the air. Volunteers served delicious local dishes, and parishioners of all ages shared stories and gratitude for the blessings of the day. The event beautifully reflected the spirit of the Sacred Heart—love expressed through prayer, service, and togetherness.

Voices from the Congregation about the celebration

“The Sacred Heart of Jesus is the very name of our parish. His Heart is aflame with love, mercy, and kindness. It was heartening to see our catechism children and youth deeply involved in the celebration, assisting with traffic during the procession, serving as altar servers, and carrying flowers during the outdoor procession. It was wonderful to see their heartfelt joy and spiritual reverence.” – Sister Jane, Catechist
