A Church that celebrates cultureMalaysians are blessed to have cultural experiences all year round, owing to the many cultures that exist and thrive here. A Malaysian Catholic identityBeing in a diverse country like ours, the Church takes on the characteristics of its congregation — occupational, socio-economic and of course, cultural. Likewise, we have adapted a uniquely Malaysian experience of being the Catholic Church, blending local cultural experience seamlessly into our shared faith experience — thanksgiving, fellowship, mutual respect and tolerance. This collective experience produces a uniquely Malaysian Catholic experience and identity. In fact, ancestral veneration in other cultures, such as in the Catholic Church in Zaire, is accepted as part and parcel of the liturgy there, one developed specifically for that country.
