📅 11 SEPTEMBER 2026 | DAY 3
📍 KINGWOOD HOTEL, SIBU | AM
Day 3 of the Malaysia Pastoral Convention 2026 continues with the Second Key Address by Cardinal Pablo, inviting us to reflect on the vocation of families to accompany one another in faith and life.
“A family does not have to be strong before it can accompany another family. Very often, people who have themselves been wounded are able to accompany other families with a depth of understanding that no pastoral professional might be able to reproduce.”
— Cardinal Pablo Virgilio Siongco David, Vice-President Federation of Asian Bishops’ Conference (FABC)
This reflection reminds us that our own experiences, including our wounds and struggles, can become a source of compassion, understanding and accompaniment as we journey together as the Church.

— Dr. Bridget Welsh, Honorary Research Associate at University of Nottingham Asia Research Institute Malaysia (UoNARI-M)
