God's given Assignment : A Short Biography of His Lordship Bishop Dominic Su


Praise the Lord !

In preparation of the 70th Birthday & 40th Anniversary of Priestly Ordination of His Lordship Bishop Dominic Su on 25th & 26th November 2009, the IT Programme & committee of the Sacred Heart Cathedral Parish Council has been assigned the task of producing a souvenir magazine for the Happy occassion. As I am the Chairperson of the Committee, I have been thinking & planning about this project.

I have been quite occupy for the last two weeks in gathering relevant information about this beloved Bishop of the Diocese of Sibu.

As I dwell into the research about His Lordship, I learnt a great deal about his life, his formation, education, calling to the priesthood, his journey as Bishop, his memorable moments, the challenges that he faced, his contirbution to the Diocese of Sibu and most importantly his great love for the Eucharistic Lord.

Bishop Su is a humble man, simple, amiable, approachable, pious & has cultivated a great love for prayer & Rosary from his young tender age. His parents were so instrumental in nurturing him & two of his brothers, Francis & Phillip Su as priests. This also remind me, the great responsibility that I have as I raise up my own children, Karen & Samuel.

The formal Archbishop Soter Fernadez from the Archdiocese of Kuala Lumpur, his fellow seminarian during his earier seminary years described him as "Bishop of the people".

I thank God for this opportunity to know this Godly man who He has choosen to serpherd his people of the Rejang Basin for the last 23 years.

Praise the Lord, Alleluia!

Alleluia, Priase the Lord!
