A workshop for the healing of families held for the first time at St Ignatius Church (SIC) attracted a combined total of 500 participants. Held at SIC Costantini Centre from 7 to 9 September 2019, 240 participants attended the English session at the Rooftop whilst 260 participants were at the Mandarin session on the second floor. The sessions were conducted by a service team comprising 30 members of the Emmaus Servant Community (ESC), Blessed Sacrament Church, Kuching, Sarawak, & 11 friends of ESC from the local community. SIC Parish Coordinating Council (PCC) & ESC were the joint organisers.
As families are beset with problems of various types at different times, participants at the workshop learnt how to be healed of issues ranging from unforgiveness to unhealthy relationships to involvement in the occult. Catholics can pray on their own to overcome some of their problems but the workshop helped them utilise more effectively the tools God blessed them with by virtue of their baptism. As participants found the event beneficial & insightful, they encouraged Emmaus Servant Community to return to SIC to conduct further sessions in the near future.
