Merdeka Thanksgiving Mass and Fellowship Parishioners of the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes, Klang, gathered in vibrant traditional cultural attire for a joyful Merdeka Thanksgiving Mass. The service was animated by local BECs and ministries and celebrated by Fr. Gregory Chan, concelebrated by Fr. Gnana Selvam Berentis, Fr. Bonaventure, Fr. Simon Agbo, and Fr. Michael Idatu. Following Mass, a flag-raising ceremony and the singing of Negaraku took place at the church entrance, marking a proud and meaningful moment of national unity. The celebration continued with warm fellowship and a generous potluck. BECs and ministries contributed over 40 diverse and delicious dishes, ensuring something special for everyone. It was a beautiful celebration of faith, culture, unity, and togetherness, truly embodying the spirit of one Malaysian family.
Licensed clinical hypnotherapist Anita Lawrence led over 20 participants in the "Breaking Free from Negative Patterns through Hypnotherapy" workshop, guiding them toward lasting personal transformation. The session highlighted the power of the subconscious mind, emphasising that overcoming toxic habits requires deep inner awareness rather than quick fixes. Participants learned a mindful sequence—See, Think, Feel, and Respond—to break cycles of emotional reactivity. A key element was the practical PAUSE framework: Pause, Acknowledge feelings, Understand thoughts, Select a healthier response, and Engage with intention. Attendees also practiced visualisation to transform emotional burdens into genuine acceptance, alongside quick distraction strategies for immediate real-world triggers. Grounded in faith, prayer, and hope, the workshop promoted authentic emotional balance over toxic positivity. Ultimately, the event offered a reassuring takeaway: healing is an ongoing daily practice, and no one has to navigate the journey alone.
