MAKING PROMISES ON THE SOLEMNITY OF CHRIST THE KING

On the Solemnity of Christ The King (20th November 2005) four members (Alice Chew, Adeline Ann Lee, Juliana Lim and Stephen Tai) of the Secular Order of Discalced Carmelites (OCDS) in Kuching made their 1st Promise in the presence of Rev. Fr. Aloysius Deeney, our General Delegate and Spiritual Assistant, in a simple ceremony during the Sunday Mass at the Carmelite Monastery of Immaculate Heart of Mary Church .

1st Promise Group Photos

After the mass, all members adjourned to have fellowship with the Carmelite Nuns at the Nuns’ Parlour. Rev. Fr. Aloysius signed the Certificates for the 1st Promise and presented to members accordingly. This was followed by photo taking. After the photo taking, all members together with Rev. Fr. Aloysius went for Indian food (Nasi lemak, roti canai, etc.) at one of the local Indian Restaurants for brunch.

Dinner at Little Lebanon

To conclude this beautiful day, all met again in the evening for dinner at Little Lebanon, an Arabic Restaurant in the old Court House. We have the privilege of experiencing an Arabic atmosphere with its food, music and sitting arrangement. We tasted different types of Arabic food from starter to main course. The Arabic music made us in “cloud 9” and some members were dancing away. We were given a cozy sitting lounge under a huge “tent”. It was indeed a unique experience. A relax atmosphere which everyone felt very much at home. All have a great time, though it costs us a fortune! Ha…..ha….ha. What a grand dinner to end this special day, the Solemnity of Christ The King.
