Tamil Youth Step Forward in Faith at Historic Vocation Camp Jul 18, 2025
By Nesri ManoharanThe first-ever Tamil Vocation Camp in the Malacca Johore Diocese took place from June 27-29 at the Church of St Philip, uniting over 60 Tamil-speaking young adults for a weekend of discovery, faith, and purpose. With the theme 'Two Pillars; One Mission,' this milestone initiative was inspired by Fr Adrian Francis and supported by Sr Evelyn Elyas, FdCC, marking a new chapter for vocation awareness among Tamil-speaking Catholic youth. Organised for single men and women aged 18 and above, the camp focused on helping participants reflect on the lives of St Peter and St Paul, and to ask: What is God calling me to do with my life? The entire programme was successfully led and coordinated by Kevin Raj Brutus from the Church of St Louis Kluang, whose youthful leadership and spiritual focus brought energy, structure, and heart to the camp.
A Weekend That Changed Lives Sr Evelyn gave a moving sharing about the life of a Canossian Sister, while introducing the roles of Friends of Canossa and Canossian Lay Missionaries. Fr Adrian walked the young men through the beauty and sacrifice of Diocesan Priesthood, answering their honest questions with love and clarity. One participant shared, 'I thought I was just coming for a camp. But I left with a clearer heart, a stronger faith, and new friends who also want to follow Jesus seriously.'
Mission, Friendship, and Faith The highlight for many was the gotongroyong service at the Canossian Convent: washing, scrubbing, gardening , a simple act that opened hearts. In the evenings, praise and worship, rosary, and Eucharistic Adoration created space for a personal encounter with Jesus. The camp closed with a beautiful Mass and a deep sense of hope. Participants didn't want to say goodbye because something new had begun inside them.
Your Invitation This camp was just the beginning. A spark has been lit in the hearts of many. If you are 18 years and above, single, and searching for direction, keep your heart open, your moment may come. Come and see.
Come and hear His call.

Two schools left to run without headmasters

TWO Tamil schools in Hulu Selangor have not had their headmasters replaced for some time, Malaysia Nanban reported. SJK(T) Ladang Kalumpang's headmistress retired and was sent off with a small celebration in March. However, the parents did not expect to be still waiting for a replacement nearly four months later, the daily reported. Meanwhile, SJK(T) Ladang Kerling's headmaster was transferred three weeks ago but the position still remains empty. Both schools' assistant headmasters were left in charge but they are not authorised to make any decisions and have to rely on the district education office. > Twenty-two trained Carnatic students gathered for a record setting seven-hour concert on the steps of the Batu Caves Temple, Malaysia Nanban reported. The event was organised by Ipoh-based Swaralaya Sangeetha Kalalayam. They sang 272 verses from the 14th century Tamil hymns known as Thiruppugazh, one for each of the 272 steps of the iconic temple.

SJKT Sangeetha Sabah Aims To Become Model Tamil School In Perak

IPOH, July 19 (Bernama) -- A reunion gathering of former students and teachers of Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan Tamil (SJKT) Perak Sangeetha Sabah held here today is seen as a positive step toward positioning the school as a model Tamil school in Perak. Organising chairman P. Chithirakala Vasu said the initiative will be led by alumni and former educators in an effort to strengthen the school's standing ahead of its 100th anniversary celebration. 'So far, we have reached out to more than 500 former students, and we are committed to seeing SJKT Sangeetha Sabah thrive and excel. As we know, the school was established in 1934. 'Many of the alumni now hold prominent positions and can contribute ideas and support to help enhance the school's performance,' she said at the Celebrating 90 Years of Memories reunion event, which was attended by about 50 alumni. Also present was MIC Vice President Tan Sri M. Ramasamy. Meanwhile, Ramasamy described Sangeetha Sabah as more than just a school—calling it an institution and a symbol of dedication to learning, heritage, and the values that unite the community. 'This reunion is not merely a return to the past. It is a reaffirmation of identity, a recognition of the bonds that unite us across generations, and a tribute to the teachers and mentors who gave so selflessly. 'It also reflects something greater: the strength of community and the enduring importance of education as a force for progress and unity,' he said. Founded in 1934 by the late Saravanamuthu as a small music class for the children of Malayan Railways workers, the school has since grown into a cherished educational institution within the local Indian community.
