We pray for the faithfully departed parishioners of the catholic community, as we believe it is through prayers that we can help to bring more souls to God and especially so for the souls of the faithfully departed. We also hope to attract new members who can come forward to support the ministry in prayers.
We meet at night wakes of the faithfully departed to reflect on the Rosary or the Divine Mercy prayer. We evangelize (before and after the prayers) to bring more souls to God and to spread God’s love to all regardless of race or religion and bring the knowledge of Christ to those who do not know Him.
We meet as and when there is a request for wake prayers. On average 1 to 2 nights a week. Most times prayers are requested nightly until the last day before the funeral. So its continuous for 1 to 4 nights until the night before the funeral day. On average 2 nights per wake. At times there are no requests for weeks. Prayers are between 8.30 pm to 9.30pm where the wake is held.
We serve mainly the parishioners of the Church of The Holy Name of Mary Permatang Tinggi but when availability permits we also serve parishioners of other churches and in some cases non-catholics as requested by the parishioners of our church for their non-catholic family members and loved ones.
Church of the Holy Name of Mary is a Roman Catholic Church situated at Permatang Tinggi. Our mission is to share the Good News of the Kingdom of God to everyone.
