The Mission Rosary Committee of the Pontifical Mission Societies of the Archdiocese of Kuala Lumpur, in collaboration with AMNEC (The Archdiocesan Mission of New Evangelisation for Christ) and guided by Fr. Edwin Peter, has prepared a Mission Rosary for the New Evangelisation e-Booklet. This booklet is specifically for October's World Mission Month. Adapted from the tradition of the 2019 Extraordinary Missionary Year, the guide emphasises the Church's universal mission while incorporating Malaysian contextual intentions. Designed for families, BECs, and parishes, the booklet is available in English, Bahasa Malaysia, Mandarin, and Tamil. It will officially launch on 1 October 2026, at the Church of St. Theresa in Nilai, Negeri Sembilan.

The Church of the Assumption in Petaling Jaya hosted its first Tamil Life in the Spirit Seminar, an event collaboratively organised with the Church of Divine Mercy, Shah Alam. This three-day seminar attracted nearly 40 participants from both parishes. Clergy members, including Fathers Leonard Lexson, George Harrison, Peter Anthoney, and Deacon Albert Arputhan, joined lay leaders in delivering enriching talks that explored Divine Love, Redemption, and Transformation. Throughout the gathering, attendees were guided towards a renewal of faith through vibrant praise and worship, inner healing sessions, periods of reflection, confession, and Holy Mass. The organising committee extends its gratitude to all contributing priests, speakers, and musicians for making this event a success. The seminar concluded with joyful thanksgiving, believing it had empowered participants to live out their faith actively with courage and commitment.
This year, the Archdiocese of Kuching is hosting the Young Priest Gathering (YPG) from 5–9 October. A total of 51 priests from Malaysia (Peninsular, Sabah and Sarawak) and Singapore have assembled for the event. The Archdiocese of Kuala Lumpur is represented by Fathers Bonaventure Rayappan, Gnana Selvam Berentis, Jonathan Andrew Rao, Philip Asirwalam, and Anthony Robert Peter. The YPG was established by the Catholic Bishops' Conference of Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei to provide ongoing formation for priests ordained five years ago or less. It offers a valuable platform for priests from different dioceses to foster fraternity, networking and collaboration. Additionally, it provides first-hand experience of the unique settings and landscapes of the local churches in the region, including their diverse cultures and nationalities, particularly those of missionaries from Africa and India. The gathering also allows priests a brief respite from the routines of their priestly ministry. The four-day programme includes two talks: "Life Experiences as a Young Priest – Its Struggles and Joys" and "Put Out into the Deep". Other activities comprise Conversation in the Spirit (CIS), communal praying of the Divine Office, participation in Holy Masses and Holy Hour, visits to local attractions, and shared meal fellowships. The Archdiocese of Singapore will host the YPG in 2027, with the Archdiocese of Kuala Lumpur following in 2031.
