Journey of Faith Pilgrimage – A Spiritual Journey to Remember

On October 26, 2024, NBVM Tamil Youths organized an inspiring pilgrimage titled “Journey of Faith,” a day dedicated to deepening spiritual connection and fellowship. This pilgrimage, spanning four different churches across Malaysia, provided an opportunity for participants to strengthen their faith through prayer, Mass, and community activities.

The journey began at 5:30 AM with the participants gathering for departure. Their first stop was the Church of St. Anthony in Nibong Tebal, where they attended Mass celebrated by Father Dominic and experienced the solemn beauty of worship in the early hours of the day.

From there, the group traveled to the Church of Our Mother of Perpetual Help, where they enjoyed lunch and participated in the Angelus Prayer, finding comfort in shared prayer and a moment to reflect on the blessings of the day. Following this, they continued their journey to the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes in Silibin. Here, the group gathered for the Rosary, deepening their spiritual connection through the meditative prayers.

The last church on their route was the Chapel of Annai Velangkanni in Jelapang, where the participants enjoyed a time of fellowship with games and a tea break, celebrating the unity of their faith community.

After a fulfilling day of spiritual nourishment, the pilgrims embarked on their return journey, taking a well-deserved rest and break at Semanggol before finally arriving back at NBVM Church by 8:00 PM.

This pilgrimage was not just a physical journey but a profound spiritual experience, inspiring all who attended to live out the words of Mark 16:15, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.” (NBVM Tamil Youths)
