OUR VISION OF THE CHURCH (2016 - 2026) AND BEYOND

Vision of the Diocese of Penang

  • A Vision of a Church led by the Holy Spirit to bring the Mission of Jesus Christ to its completion and perfection (cf. Eph 2:21-22)
  • A Vision of a Church that witnesses to the Resurrection of Jesus Christ who is alive in the Church today (cf. Acts 4:33)
  • A Vision of a Church that is One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic (cf. Nicene Creed)
  • A Vision of a Church that carries Her daily cross and follows Christ (cf. Mt. 16:24)
  • A Vision of a Church that remains faithful to its Lord and Master in persecution (cf. 1 Pt 4:12-14)
  • A Vision of a Church that is creative and inclusive, founded on the Beatitudes and the Last Judgement (cf. Mt 5:1-12; Mt. 25:31-46)
  • A Vision of a Church that is nourished by God’s Word, the Sacraments and community living as a preparation for Mission and Communion (cf. Mk 14:22-25)
  • A Vision of a Church where Her hierarchical and charismatic gifts, institutions, structures and resources are at the service of the Kingdom and the Mission of Evangelization (cf. Mt 10:1-8)
  • A Vision of a Church that is overflowing with the Joy of the Gospel and the Mercy of the Father reflected on the Face of Jesus Christ (cf. Jubilee Year of Mercy 2016)
  • A Vision of a Church where our sons and daughters will prophesy, our elders will dream dreams and our youth will see visions. (cf. Joel 2:28)
  • A Vision of a Church that is open to all vocations because of a plentiful harvest (cf. Lk 10:2)
  • A Vision of a Church, as Bride crying out with the Holy Spirit, “Maranatha ... Come, Lord Jesus” (cf. Revelation 22:17)
