| Parishoners gather at the grave of Sybil Kartigasu for devotional prayers |
Parishioners
of St Michaels Church gather on the 12 of each month at the gravesite of Sybil
Karthigasu and offer devotional prayers for her intersession. This prayers have
been going since January this year. Prayers this month was held on the 12 which
happened to be the holiday Wesak Day.
Last year in
July Cardinal Sebastian Francis, bishop of Penang, had called for the beatification and canonization of Sybil Kathigasu. He
described her as a heroine and lay martyr who protected information and
housed and nursed local members of the anti-Japanese resistance.
Parish Priest Father Aloysius Tan announced after the prayers, that in June next month Cardinal Francis will be in attendance and the devotional prayer will be held in evening at the gravesite followed by mass.
