The Diocese of Sibu welcomed a new priest, Fr Johanaz Ling, 34, to the Presbyterate on January 25 at the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart.
In his homily, Bishop Joseph said that Johanaz entered into the priesthood of his own free will and a clear conscience. Fr Johanaz, from Sarikei, said that the calling to the priesthood started when he was nine years old. However, as a young boy, he did not know what it was, so life continued as usual.
“Growing up, my father was very strict, making sure we prayed the Rosary and participated at Masses,” he said.He decided to meet Bishop Joseph Hii. The prelate asked him to stay at Christ the King Church in Bintangor for a year to experience priesthood. He stayed with Fr Philip Hu and Fr Simon Lau.
